...Then with only five men on the ice the Crimson drew first blood when Wood, taking the puck on a rebound after a shot by Lakin, sent it past Grodberg. After the second forward line had replaced the starting trio Harvard scored again, this time on a nice bit of teamwork. Stubbs came flying down the ice, turned, flipped the puck to Cross and the Crimson left wing poked it into the net, with the game little more than six minutes old. Harvard chalked up another two minutes later when Putnam gave Wood a pass and a chance to make...

Harvard's play after the first period was a bit off-color, the offense failing to click because of lack of team work. Most of the playing was individual with Putnam and Cunningham bearing the burden of it. Garrison, playing his first game at defence also contributed several neat plays. The goalie situation however advanced no farther because the B. U. forwards were practically unable to break through and give Harvard's net-tenders a fair test. Ellis played the first and third periods and Draper relieved him during the second stanza. Both of them had so few opportunities, however...

...What pleased me most was when Mike exclaimed: 'Gee, Miss Brown, you're not a bit like a teacher; you're so human.' . . . Are we wrong, I wonder, offering Art Appreciation and Workshop along with Arithmetic? . . . Yesterday I had a letter from Ned Thompson thanking me for persuading him to go to Yale. . . . Before I came to high school, I taught in the grades. Each morning Ikey Stein brought me roses which he had gathered in the cemetery. Patsy O'Reilly presented me with three battered toothbrushes; his father was a garbage collector. . . . I banged...

...great character, a coiled complex of frailty and nobility, such as his creator Tolstoy and that other great Russian, Dostoievsky, were particularly apt to conceive. As acted by Jacob Ben-Ami and a large company of Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre (including a witty bit by the directress herself), most of the values of this celebrated tragedy are apparent. Egon Brecher's depiction of Alexandrov, an artistic hobo with delusions of grandeur, is an uproarious triumph if you can overlook its tragic perspectives...

...stage offering, more tuneful and delightful than usual, has as its bright spot two acrobat-comedians who do a neat bit jumping back and forth on a rubber net. Their act is carried out with minute precision and is quite different from the ordinary acrobatic stunt. Arthur Martel offers his weekly organ solo, this time in the form of a musical boxing bout between the husbands and wives present and the concert orchestra contributes a dashing rendering of the "Rhapsody in Black and White". All in all the program is a well-balanced entertainment sure to please some...
