...here; we play strictly amateur ball," would seem to dovetail perfectly with Harvard's football philosophy. This past year, moreover, Centre's small enrollment managed to turn out a team that beat all eight of its opponents, led the nation in offense, and--if it could have paid for train tickets--would have played in the Tangerine Bowl at Orlando, Florida. The Athletic Department should do all it can to get Centre up to the Stadium as soon as possible. As the CRIMSON said in 1921: "It will be a great game--the one next October when the Crimson meets...
...lucky they will be to be living nice clean lives. They can join the North Shore Coronary Circle-that's a bunch of commuters-or the Chicago Cardiac Club.

Queen Bee (Columbia) creaks along like a slow train through Arkansas. The huffing-puffing locomotive is Joan Crawford, a siren from Chicago, and what she does to the proud sons and daughters of the Old South is a caution. Pathetic Fay Wray loses her mind when she loses her man to Joan. The luckless man (Barry Sullivan) retires to his room in the mansion house to nurse his bottle and his grudge. His wide-eyed sister, Betsy Palmer, goes out to the stable and hangs herself. Finally. John Ireland, after quivering with rage and lust for 95 minutes, brings things...
