...alarmed. They glanced skyward, expecting to watch another Luftwaffe observation plane drift toward the French border ten miles to the west. Instead, they saw a formation of planes, sweeping in at great altitude from the north. Seconds later, the burghers and their women and children ran for cover, shrieking. Terror bombing of undefended cities on the western front had begun...
This little adventure story is told very simply, with a fine understanding of suspense, and with admirable candor and tact. There is a lot of good fright in it and a flickering of the frank cruelty which comes naturally to children; but there is no terror and no brutality.

...Yale coach Howie Odell's four backfield starters, only quarterback and deadly short passer Tax Furse is completely whole. Line-bucking terror Ferd Nadherny still limps from the Princeton game last week, while halfback Art Fitzgerald suffers from a head injury received against the Tigers. The man Harlow foars most despite his questionable showing this fall is fullback Levi Jackson, who needs only one good afternoon to make football history...
