Johnny Chase, leadoff man for the Crimson Freshmen, set the pace in the bottom of the first inning with a sharp single. Two walks surrendered by the Lawrence hurler, Don Homaty, set things up for Cliff Crosby's two run single...
...Bottom of the Ladder. That Patterson became an airman was due largely to chance. But he came honestly by his liking for hard work. He was born on Oahu Island, where his father was overseer of a sugar plantation. A tireless man, his father often wore out three horses in the course of a day's riding about the fields.

It allows the very basis of his thinking a cold, immediate access to the facts of living. Certainly few entertainers are so comfortlessly close to reality as Allen; still fewer are crowded so hard by sanity. Often his wit appears to be a cushion against hard fact. More often it seems an act of reprisal. He hurls it, rich with cyanic rancors, in the face of sham wherever he sees...
