...service, Blaik has but three good halfbacks to shoot into the fray--Hutchinson, Hayden, and Arico. In addition, if Krieger is drafted into backfield duty, the flank squad is left very thin. Whit Miller is the only veteran, and he may not be good for 60 minutes of play. Nissen and Kelley are the other wing operatives...

First act picked up when the scene changed to the interior of a synagog. Comics were the bearded batlans who droned their prayers for a kopek or two, spent their earnings on vodka. A tragic, pale-faced figure was Hanan, Nissen's son, torn between the Talmud and the cabalistic mysticism which used to be feared by all good Jews. By prayers and fasting Hanan had hoped finally...
