...Wesley Zeigler's direction is often contrived. Most of his characters, when they deliver long speeches, pace up and down the stage, following practically the same pattern. And the play is considerably dulled by Ziegler's fascination with the fjords (which look very much like the Swiss Alps.) In the first act, an audience sitting out behind the set would hear almost as much of the important dialogue as the group in the Lowell Dining Room...
Only five days before the key game with Michigan, No. 2 team in the nation, gloom shrouded Army's football field at West Point. Army's swift halfback and 1955 team captain, Mike Zeigler, was under punishment, walking with his rifle in the barracks area instead of practicing plays. His offense: though a first-rate student and on the dean's list, Cadet Zeigler had drunk a beer in an officers' mess. He was stripped of his team captaincy and barred from football for the season...

...would be an impromptu joke. Joe Cygler, Army's fleet left halfback, was out for the season with a snapped ankle. Dick Murtland, another halfback, was laid up with a charley horse. Bob Kyasky, the fastest back of all, was nursing a bad knee. Mike Zeigler had run afoul of Army discipline and was finished with 'football. Don Holleder, the All-America end who had been shifted to quarterback, still had to learn how to fire his lefthanded passes soft enough for the average man to hold them. For Coach Blaik. beating Furman 81-0 in the opening...
