Darnley wrecks himself and Mary by playing in with the Lords, knifes Mary's secretary Rizzio on suspicion of adultery, thus unwittingly giving a spurious confirmation to the lie Elizabeth has spread about her kinswoman.

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...
