The New Centurions (1972)

"You're just having a wonderful time. You like it! You like being a cop."

"Well, of course I like it! It doesn't mean I'm not working my ass off."

"I don't give a damn how hard you work, you like it, and I don't wanna spend the rest of my life being a cop's wife!"

"Then you'd better get married to somebody else."

Boys, Beaks and Betty (aka, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on one of her many visits to Harrow).

The photo (spring term of 1957), shows Her Majesty inspecting the ball for a game of Harrow Football (a game predating Association Football, played exclusively at Harrow).

The Boys and Beaks in question (from left): John Wells (Newlands, 1952), John Strover (Rendalls, 1952), C Laborde and R James (The Head Master's).

*

Harrow Football: a cross between Rugby and Association Football, is played exclusively at Harrow; its very uniqueness, being its appeal.

The game evolved before the addition of the east wing of Old Schools, when football was played in what is now Bill Yard; meaning it's a game that evolved from a 'Yarder' (Harrow-speak for an outside recreation area, or a game that's played there).

When the east wing was built, 'Fug' Football (as the game was then known), was played at the west end of the Yard, and in the cloisters that then existed under Old Speech Room.

These days it's played on The Sheepcote and Hemstall Fields, thereby providing a pitch that's purposefully uneven, which is then specially flooded for matches. It's also played with a non-spherical ball that's large, porous and heavy, and which consequently soaks up water. The ball might, therefore, not be unreasonably described as a ponderous lump!

The aim is to kick the ball through the opposition's 'Base' (goal posts), and in the process generally go about getting as muddy as possible in as gentlemanly a way as possible!

Of course, Harrow wouldn't be Harrow if it didn't have quaint rules: There's an umpire with a stick, you can turn and kick the ball to your team mate who can catch it (provided it has not touched the ground since it was kicked and the kick was not a forward-pass from a fellow team member). And you can also shout 'Yards', then do a sort of triple-jump (hop, skip and jump movement). You're even permitted to tackle if the opponent is not in possession of the ball!

For the serious devotees of tradition: In 1999, a Harrow football was actually found in the rafters of Stirling Castle, directly above Mary Queen of Scot's chamber!

200 Films of 1952

Film number 192: Hellgate

Release date: September 5th, 1952 

Studio: Lippert Pictures, Commandeer Films 

Genre: western 

Director: Charles Marquis Warren 

Producer: John C. Champion 

Actors: Sterling Hayden, Ward Bond, James Arness 

Plot Summary: In 1867, a Kansas man is sent to the infamous Hellgate prison in New Mexico after being wrongly convicted of being in a guerilla gang. Once there, he tries to get along with his fellow inmates, avoid an antagonistic commandant, and find a way to get a new trial. Hellgate more than lives up to its name, though, and surviving may be the hardest thing he has to do. 

My Rating (out of five stars): *** 

This was a somewhat uneven film with several things to recommend it and several things that made it disappointing. I went in thinking this was going to be a film like I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, the brilliant 1932 indictment of the prison system. Instead, it was closer to a typical “innocent man in prison” drama. It certainly showed the horrors of a brutal inhumane prison, but it didn’t seem to have anything larger to say about that, even if we got a quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes at the beginning! (major spoilers)

The Good: 

Stirling Hayden as Gil, the innocent man. I like Hayden, even if his acting style can be kind of monotone at times. It usually works for the type of characters he plays- stoic, tough, and determined. His eyes always communicate much more than the words that come out of his mouth, so you know he’s not JUST a tough guy; there is pain and sensitivity in the man as well. 

Ward Bond as the sadistic Lt. Voorhees. His performance stood out here, and it was typical Bond- gruff, angry, mean, but also a bit aloof. 

James Arness as Redfield, Gil’s cellmate. He was very effective as a hard and brutish leader.

This film looked like it had a much bigger budget than it did. I was shocked to see Lippert Pictures in the credits. Everything from the script to the sets to the performances were above par. 

The depiction of prison abuse was vivid and horrible to witness. 

The location was eerie and awful- the cells inside of a cave, the spiked logs that served as prison gates, the coffin-like solitary confinement box partially buried in the sand... it all left an indelible mark. 

The men in the prison looked realistically sweaty, dirty, unshaven, and wearing the same worn clothes. Every time you looked at them you could feel the heat and the dust they lived in. 

The Bad: 

A plague occurs later in the film, but the first disease we come across is “Classical Hollywood Good Wife Syndrome!” Gil’s wife Ellen showed up intermittently to cry, worry, or declare her love and devotion. She did get more action than the norm, though. While she was worrying and staying devoted, she was also working hard to secure her husband’s freedom. And she was ultimately successful! 

For me, it didn’t delve enough into the issue of inhumane prison conditions. This story was solely focused on Gil, and when he was set free, that was that. I understand that was probably the film's intention, but I wished it had broadened things a little more. 

There was some obvious foreshadowing when an explicit discussion happened about how crucial it was that wagons come with water every month. There was no supply of water where they were. The conversation went on for a length of time that telegraphed what would happen later on. 

The portrayal of Native Americans was not the worst I’ve seen, but it wasn’t good either. You could also tell that some of them were white men wearing Cher wigs and bandanas. 

There was a whipping scene in the film where one of Gil’s cellmates was being viciously lashed, but the incompetent way it was filmed sucked all of the realism and drama of it. Was it a budget issue? 

The typhus epidemic at the end felt like it came out of nowhere. I even rewound the film a little to see if I had missed anything that set things up more clearly. The way it conveniently enabled Gil’s arc of redemption was awfully contrived as well. 

The final scene of the movie did look like something filmed on a cheap budget- when Ellen and Gil run to each other and collapse in each other’s arms, they are clearly standing in a mediocre set meant to look like the outdoors- with fake bushes and trees placed around them in a way that screamed “set design.”

King Alexander 1. of Scotland

Alexander is depicted within a painted oval, in profile, facing the right, wearing armour with a red scalloped collar, and a maroon cap with a jewel of drop pearls. This portrait is one of ninety-three bust-lengths commissioned to decorate the Great Gallery at Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh. It is painted by Jacob de Wet II, a Dutch artist working in Scotland from 1673. Together with eighteen full-lengths these portraits illustrate the genealogy of the royal house of Scotland from Fergus I (who ascended the throne in 330 BC) to James VII (who abdicated in 1689). De Wet’s iconographic scheme was based on well-known chronicles of Scottish history by the Renaissance humanists Hector Boece (Scotorum Historiae, 1527) and George Buchanan (Rerum Scoticarum Historia, 1582). The inscriptions on the paintings correspond with Buchanan’s list of Scottish kings: from left to right, these are the number and name of the king followed by the date of accession. The dates however are considerably muddled, by a later restorer or perhaps even the artist himself. Both real and legendary, their purpose was to proclaim the authority of the Stuarts as divinely appointed rulers of Scotland. Commissioned and paid for by the Scottish Privy Council, the series was intended to convey the power and greatness of the country’s governing body as much as that of their king. With no authentic likenesses on which to base his portraits of medieval kings, de Wet made extensive use of an earlier set by the Scottish artist George Jamesone, of which twenty-six survive in private collections. From this limited basis the resulting series appears rather repetitious. Much more important than their aesthetic merit therefore was the symbolic power of painting an extremely long royal lineage stretching more than two millennia. Buchanan, Rerum Scoticarum Historia (translation from 1751): surnamed Fierce, succeeded to his Brother … A very good and valiant Prince. He builded the Abbacies of Scone and of St Colm’s Inch. He married Sybilla, Daughter to William Duke of Normandy, &c. He died in Peace, without Succession, at Stirling’. Number 90 in the series. Inscribed ALEXANDER.COGNOMENTO.ACER. 1107.

ProvenanceCommissioned by the Scottish Privy Council in the name of Charles II.

Created between 1684 and 1686

Golden Fields in Stirling, Loch Lomond, Scottish Highlands - The Carse of Stirling, from Kippen, looking towards the Trossachs Hills

Stirlingshire, also called Stirling, historic county, central Scotland. In the west it borders Loch Lomond and incorporates a section of the Highlands. It extends east into the Midland Valley (Central Lowlands) between the Rivers Forth and Kelvin. At the centre of Stirlingshire the volcanic Campsie Fells and Kilsyth and Gargunnock hills form an elevated mass amid the Lowlands. In the east the county fronts the shore of the River Forth estuary. The northern portion of Stirlingshire lies within the Stirling council area. Along the River Kelvin in the southwest the Lennox area is part of East Dunbartonshire, and the area around Kilsyth lies in North Lanarkshire. Southeastern Stirlingshire constitutes the Falkirk council area.

The Stuart kings ruled from Stirling Castle until the union of the English and Scottish crowns. Stirlingshire played a conspicuous part in the struggle for Scottish independence as the site of several of the exploits of Sir William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The three great battles for independence were fought in the region—Stirling Bridge (1297), Falkirk (1298), and Bannockburn (1314). James III was stabbed to death in a cottage in the village of Milton following the Battle of Sauchieburn (1488). The Covenanters met a disastrous defeat at Kilsyth in 1645. The transitory victory of Prince Charles Edward, the Young Pretender, at Falkirk in 1746 was the last significant battle to take place in the county.

Archaeological research has uncovered evidence of Neolithic settlement in Stirlingshire. The Antonine Wall, locally known as Graham’s Dyke, was constructed by the Romans in AD 142; it connects the Rivers Forth and Clyde and passes through southeastern Stirlingshire. Many Roman relics have been found at Castlecary and Camelon. After the withdrawal of the Romans, the native Picts gradually retreated before the advance of the Anglo-Saxons and Scots. Stirling received a royal charter from David I (c. 1130) and became a trading centre.
