...also had a series of 11 low-budget Workshop productions. Besides providing one student a chance to test his playwrting on audiences (as indicated earlier), the Theatre Workshop gave Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape, Ionesco's The Bald Soprano, Adamov's Professor Taranne, Fry's A Phoenix Too Frequent, Synge's Shadow of the Glen, Genet's The Maids, David English's Waiting for Goodman, Robert Shure's Twink, Ionesco's Jack and O'Neill's The Rope.

U.C.L.A.'s Ducky Drake had trained them both. For two days he had alternately worried about Johnson ("He's tense. Loosen up, Ray. Loosen up! Relax"), and exhorted Yang ("Judas priest! Get that blasted head down on that high jump"). Drake guessed that Johnson would forget about winning the 1,500 meters, try simply to stick close enough to Yang...
