When the Navy was given the ball, the full power of their star backfield was seen. E. L. Casey '19, W. J. Murray '18, T. H. Enwright '18, and Cannell, the Dartmouth back, showed a varied and powerful attack. On short line drives with material gains by Casey through the entire informal eleven, the sailors gradually advanced the ball to within 10 yards of the informals goal line. The informals' defence stiffened momentarily but Cannell was finally able to cross the line on a plunge between guard and tackle...
...score at the end of the race stood as follows: Wakefield High School, 32; Freshmen, 56; St. Benedict's School, 67; Providence Technical High School, 71. The first five men on the winning team were awarded individual cups. D. F. O'Connell '21, captain of the Freshmen, was the star of the race, winning first place in 16 minutes, 36 seconds, one second faster than the time of the Harvard-Yale Freshman contest last year. J. E. Nally '21, was a good third, crossing the line behind Nulty of St. Benedict's. Wakefield's first man was Burke in fourth...

The free hand that equips Winter Garden shows did the pouring when money was put in to "The Star Gazer." In the tea scene of the second act, for instance, real sugar was used...
John T. Murray, the star gazer, didn't over-play, in spite of a temptation. And the really lively role of the show was that of John Harwood. He was the green grocer last year in "Getting Married," and the shift from Shavianism to Shubertism did not curb his artfulness. If the librettist, Cosmo Hamilton, will work as hard at revision as Harwood did at the premiere, "The Star Gazer" may discover an orbit for itself on Broadway...
