Villanova and Georgetown should stage a record-breaking duel for the IC4A title today at Van Cortlandt Park in New York. But Harvard -- ninth last year -- will be fighting for third place to cap off a fine comeback season...
...Hunter has given Forum plenty of sight-gags and a Burlesque flavor, the two prerequisites for getting boffs.

And some congratulations are due Director Norman Panama, who keeps this airy nothing whooshing along so briskly that audiences may fail...
