...replies of a few others were markedly amused and somewhat deprecatory. The reason was discovered before the replies reached the mouth of University Hall's IBM machine: a full page of statistics on Carriers of Intestinal Pathogens in Four Alaskan Communities had been substituted for the usual page two (marital status and reading habits). All in all, a return of only 70 per cent was received...
...line will be the same as usual, but with Lawson out, the backfield will probably see sophomore Larry Repsher running from the right halfback slot. Yovicsin said that he still is not certain whether he will use Chet Boulris or Bruce MacIntyre at left half...

Nothing happens that has not happened a hundred times before in other war pictures-except perhaps an unusually large number of sincere but badly misdirected performances by promising young cinemactors. All of them, as Producer Jerry Wald proudly points out, have been carefully nurtured...
