...best one can say for the Elis is that they were stoic. Yale players mangled passes, collided with each other, and contrived to waste a grand total of six Harvard penalties in the last two periods, partly through their own clumsiness and partly through the skill of Harvard penalty killers Chip Otness and Don Grimble...

Adagala moves with Stoic strength and speaks a measured rage from behind a white mask of makeup. Deitch's eventually triumphant vitality is less restrained. His eyes grip the audience even with his head hanging upside down off the edge of a table...
