...been scheduled. The rout gave more confidence to the new players. But the next week Columbia and its super star quarterback Marty Domres took some wind out of the new Crimson sails. The skeptics reappeared as Harvard won by only one touchdown, 21-14. Sloppy football was the pundits' watchword and again Big Hole appeared in the lineup. But the pundits didn't know how lasting the Holy Cross half-time magic was and were caught by surprise as Harvard downed Cornell 10-0 and Dartmouth 22-7 in successive weeks...
...watchword is freedom. "Nobody gives a good goddam what you read, think, eat, wear, smoke, drink or sleep with," says Erich Wise, a junior from Los Angeles, "just so long as you don't hurt anybody."

Clifford Odets has become a watchword for what is worst in the theatre of the '30's. Waiting for Lefty conjures up visions of a cast storming an audience with cries of "Strike!" and Golden Boy suggests the apotheosis of sentimentalism--or else a bad musical with Sammy Davis Jr. No one thinks of Odets as a great dialogue writer, which he was, or as a creator of remarkably distinctive characters, which he was also. We think of him as a soapbox in possession of a typewriter...
