...Yalemen recall the 1921 Yale-Princeton football game in which Right End Justin Sturm stopped Princeton's Gilroy from getting away for a touchdown, helped his team win 13 to 7. Since then Justin Sturm has been a minor investigator for Montgomery Ward, a laborer in a glass factory, a gang foreman with a Chicago construction company. In 1926 Harper Bros, published his first novel (The Bad Samaritan). Last week Yalemen and others were able to see Justin Sturm's latest accomplishment-an exhibition of sculpture at Manhattan's Ferargil Galleries...

At Cambridge next week President Conant was to preside for the first time over a commencement of his own, with frosty President Emeritus Abbott Lawrence Lowell back to talk to some 650 seniors about "War and the League of Nations."

Peace on Earth (by George Sklar and Albert Maltz; produced by the Theatre Union) is another clumsy propaganda play dedicated to the proposition that capitalism is a shell game. Its authors, Yalemen, take a mild, busy college professor (Robert Keith) as their representative of the Right. They persuade him a little toward the Left, involve him with stevedores striking against War, with Communists, with a radical friend who is murdered by the Interests. Tarred with the Left brush, he is crushed by his onetime comrades of the Right. His college classmates, holding a reunion, dress as cowboys, get drunk, mumble...
