Lemmon, who shyly refused last week to make a speech, WIXAL since 1934 has broadcast lectures and lessons by Harvard, Radcliffe and Boston university professors, as well as chamber music and the complete public program of this year's Harvard Tercentenary.

At the car's wheel was its owner, big, blond Clifford Pierson ("Biff") Hoffman, a star Stanford foot baller ten years ago, now a San Francisco broker. Beside him sat his guest, pert, black-eyed Mrs. Audrey McCann. In the rumble were their spouses-John Mc Cann, of San Francisco's McCann Furniture Co. family, and Claire Hoffman, daughter of San Francisco's famed banker Amadeo Giannini...
