Against the Bears last week, Unitas threw the football only 13 times. Any more would have been unkind: as it was, his score for the day was eleven completions, 247 yds. and three touchdowns. In the first quarter, with a third down and 28 yds. to go on the Bear 36, Unitas dropped back and looked for End Raymond Berry, who was zigzagging downfield.

But, unfortunately, this spirited little repertory group has at last made the mistake of choosing for performance a play beyond the abilities of most of its members. The comprehensive criticisms I feel compelled to make of the current production of Eliot's The Cocktail Party are not intended maliciously; I am still a passionate admirer of the Company...
