Halfback Chet Boulris gave a taste of the skillful broken field running that won him a place on the second all-Ivy team last year when he danced and raced 35 yards through the Tufts line and secondary for the Crimson's first touchdown in the opening period. Another backfield returnee, fullback Sam Halaby, several times showed an awesome ability to charge through tightly congested lines of scrimmage...

...parents (Frank Ferguson and Jessica Tandy) are upset by the boy's Indian ways ("He even walks like one," exclaims Actress Tandy, as MacArthur rolls across the room with the widespread stride of a U.C.L.A. halfback). But with patience and Parker working hand in glove, the boy is soon dolled up in pale blue breeches, reading from the Beatitudes and gazing blankly at a wide-eyed bit of fluff (Broadway's Carol Lynley) from across the road. Fess himself makes sheep's eyes at the preacher's daughter (Joanne...
