...have swept westward since September on one tourist flight after another. Each carries 44 lbs. of baggage, a dwindling $300 in pocket money. Behind them: Boston, New York, Washington, San Francisco, Honolulu, Tokyo. Ahead: Bangkok, Calcutta, New Delhi, Cairo (midyear exams), Istanbul, Athens, Rome, Florence, Geneva, Berlin, Paris, London (final exams). So far only one student has been lost; he missed the plane in Baltimore, caught up next day in San Francisco...
Undramatic though the play is, the final trouble lies less with subject matter than with form. Had Silent Night been not a full play but a longish one-acter, it might have had a special appeal. It could, just long and lyrically enough, have chronicled a meeting and sustained a mood-and with no tossed-in newlyweds, no shaky final scene. Unfortunately, as a one-acter it would not fit the Broadway scheme of things, though as a full-length play it scarcely fits it either...

Final score: Ohio State 77, Wake Forest 69. Still, the team and Lucas looked so rocky that Coach Taylor could not sleep the following night, finally dozed off on the living-room floor, where he had thrown himself down to brood...
...against Pittsburgh, Big Luke was the key of Ohio State's tight man-to-man defense. On offense, he roved the pivot, scoring 24 points (with a fantastic shooting average of 73% from the floor), directing teammates in his deep, sober voice ("Come on in, John, come in"). Final score: Ohio State 94, Pitt...

Tittle, still gimpy from an earlier Colt game, could save the day against a gang-tackling Colt defense led by massive (6 ft. 4 in., 240 Ibs.) Gino Marchetti. Final score: Colts 34, Forty-Niners 14. The victory at the least assured the Colts a first-place tie, setting up the prospect of another classic clash for the pro championship between Baltimore and the New York Giants, who won the Eastern Conference title by routing the Cleveland Browns...
