Queried by TIME for his opinion of Whiteside, ex-Dramatic Critic Woollcott answered: "I only review plays for money." In Too Many Girls (produced by George Abbott) Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart, who always bob up with something as little like their last musicomedy as possible, have jumped all the way from Shakespeare and old Syracuse to college and New Mexico. Their scene is a rundown campus called Pottawatomie ("One of those colleges that play football on Fridays") and their plot a combination of Boy Meets Girl and Team Beats Rival...

But Hayden is a competent back, and Harvard has good reason to remember his running mate, Bill Hutchinson. Bob Krieger is slated to start at end, but Coach Blaik may be compelied to shift him into the backfield. In this event he will be a distant threat, but no MacLeod by any means. The Minneapolis school-boy sensation has yet to prove him-self in intercollegiate competition...
