"Here is a splendid opportunity for our infant film industry," declared El Excelsior, tongue in cheek. "A splendid opportunity also to effect that international reciprocity between Mexico and the U.

Wells' pass to Cheek paved the way for Litman to go over the first touchdown, and Litman's and Wells' running propensities accounted for the second. It looked as if Coach Casey's radical late-season shift was good medicine and resorted shattered hopes for a clinching victory over Yale next Saturday. The new left side of the forward wall didn't quite come up to expectations and Kopans was called back in a hurry after he had given way to Burton, but the whole team was clicking...
