...Crimson football team tries to gain its second straight victory of the season against a tough, fast, and underrated Bucknell eleven. Despite a convincing 36-22 win over the University of Massachusetts last Saturday, the favored varsity, led by Charlie Ravenel, will have a difficult job stopping the Bison pilot Paul Terhes, who last year compiled 898 yards passing...
...Bison line, led by center Larry Mathias, the team captain, is fast and aggressive. It limited Gettysburg to only 32 yards on the ground. Averaging 202 pounds, it is not exceptionally large but has more than compensated for this with its great speed. Guard Charlie Negran and tackle Dick Boudreau spent much of their time last Saturday stopping Gettysburg backs before they reached the line of scrimmage...
Died. Fred Sauter Jr., 86, taxidermist who stuffed the head of the bison on the buffalo nickel, and whose shop on Manhattan's Bleecker Street once delivered 125 neatly packed rats for a movie version of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, also provided the stuffed white Peking ducks that were passed off as seagulls when Ethel Merman blazed away at them in Annie Get Your Gun; in Mineola, L.I.

Warily clutching his gun, Nimrod Bunker posed for the camera with his solemn host, the Maharajah of Mysore, and the carcass, which was sent to a taxidermist for mounting...
