They were all dancers. James Cagney propelled himself through space like a bullet or a bull terrier, his torso a few seconds ahead of his legs; anyone without a dancer's equilibrium would have fallen on his face. Henry Fonda was just the opposite: a triumph of convex geometry, his thin body a question mark that ambled at Stepin Fetchit pace toward a girl or a cause. Katharine Hepburn seemed always on the ascendant, scaling the invisible ramp of her own confidence. But of all the Golden Age Hollywood stars it was Fred Astaire who defined screen movement...

The poised freshman catcher Miller caught a Terrier stealing to give Crimson opponents just eight steals on 12 attempts this season. Stefanchik gave Harvard its 33rd steal in 37 attempts, a tribute to Allard’s preseason change of philosophy and some healthy drills in the offseason...
