...Leading ground-gainer among college footballers was Michigan's big, well-nosed Tom Harmon. In eight games he totaled 1,356 yards (868 on the ground and 488 in the air) for an average 169 yards a game, average six yards a play...
...insure that the consecrated Host shall not be subjected to indignity or outrage, the Catholic Church has legislated in great detail. Last week the Primate of England's Catholics, Arthur Cardinal Kinsley, reminded his priests of what they should do in case of an air raid during Mass. If the Host has not been consecrated, said His Eminence, the Mass should be stopped at once, to be resumed later if possible. But if the consecration has been performed, the priest must consume the Host and wine, then end the Mass. Should the Host be lost during a raid...
Morning's at Seven (by Paul Osborn; produced by Dwight Deere Wiman). Two seasons ago the Broadway critics threw their hats in the air over Playwright Osborn's On Borrowed Time, a deft piece of flimsy-whimsey about a small boy, an old man, and Death kept at bay in an apple tree.

When Charlie McCarthy takes the air on Sunday nights, speaking the slick impertinences of Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, the Chase and Sanborn Hour traditionally has the ear of perhaps a third of the nation, largest radio audience in the U. S. But Charlie appears only twice (a total of about 15 minutes) during the hour: the rest is usually orchestra music, songs by Contralto Dorothy Lamour and Baritone Donald Dickson, effervescences by guest stars and a master of ceremonies. Between Charlie's turns at the mike, the interest of his vast audience wavers. Many tune in on other programs, others...
