These men, along with guards Terry Lenzner and Jerry Weidler and center Jon Christianson, will be the crucial figures in today's contest. "It will be a close game, one decided on the play of the lines. If our line can give us good work, we have enough experience in our backfield to score," said Yovicsin...
...fascinating to observe how these men, the master "form givers" of our century, have in recent years produced buildings that fulfill the promise of their varied styles perhaps as never before. The only work of Le Corbusier's shown is his Chapel at Ronchamp. The brooding, heaving forms of roof and walls have such complexity that even the many fine photographs by Life photographer Ezra Stoller do not even begin to reveal all their sculptural possibilities...

Completely unrelated to this, Ruth Arnold (Julie Harris) is fighting her battle, or laying her trap, for handsome Jack Williams (Farley Granger), whose intentions are less than honorable...
