...Dick Harlow has decided to move versatile Cliff Wilson to the trigger position from his post at guard. Although Rick Hedblom, Dan Cheever and Bill Coleman have developed fast his fall, they are not sufficiently seasoned to start a Varsity game. A bad case of nerves usually accompanies a debut into Varsity competition and is often costly. At the center post it is usually fatal...
...become the stronghold of Tories who felt so secure that years of niggling graft were heading the Province for a sudden, swift, pro-Liberal reaction to "throw the rascals out." It came soon, and ebullient young Mr. Hepburn could not have chosen more shrewdly the moment for his political debut.

Disguised under several changes of expensive wraps, Miss Hovick stalks innocuously through You Can't Have Everything without appreciably altering its merits as a smart and tuneful musical, cut from the same unpretentious pattern as its predecessors in Producer Darryl Zanuck's recent musical cycle (Sing Baby Sing, Pigskin Parade, One in a Million, On the Avenue, Wake Up and Live...
