Only a queer bounce kept the sophomore goal tender from his third shutout in four games With Harvard leading 2-0 late in the first period.

The first is that they were both helplessly smitten by the theater at tender ages. (He imagines a boyish Shake speare falling in behind a touring theatri cal company announcing its presence by parading down Stratford's main street; he recalls himself manipulating a cardboard Laurence Olivier and Jean Simmons in a toy-theater production of Hamlet.) The second is that both grew...
