...Vagabond might just as well admit it right now--he is train-whacky. Other people can have their airplanes, their boats, their dogs, their cameras, their movie queens, their horses. But give Vag a train every time. There is something about trains which gets this sentimental old fellow. It isn't the mechanical end that lures him, for he is an awful dud at such things. It must be some bit of the romance and glamor of the "high iron" in his blood. His mother tends to blame it on his Uncle Rome who is a conductor and a mighty...
...spoke Clark Shaughnessy, Chicago coach, at the press conference following the 47-13 rout of his team Saturday. It was quite something for Shaughnessy to admit his team was better now than previously, for if Harvard had played them any sooner, there is no doubt that the only worth while part of the Windy Citymen's trip would have been their visit to the historic spots of Boston, which they made yesterday...

Winchell razzed his fellow critics, claimed that seven out of eight had also "laughed & laughed & laughed" but were ashamed to admit it in print next day. In the uproar which followed, three-ring Critic George Jean Nathan (Esquire, Newsweek, Scribner's) backed up Winchell, called Hellzapoppin "funnier than the Pulitzer Prize"; Critic John Anderson (N.
