However, not given to consistency, the team has yet to prove that it deserves the title. Second half lapses and a terrible day against Dartmouth have hurt badly, and an occasional upset is certainly not grounds enough to call a team great.

To date the team has been unable to get 'up' for successive contests, and today is their last chance. If they can, it could mean the title.Tackle ERIC NELSON (71) and halfback JIM NELSON...
...girl's" path, yawning at each other with remarks such as, "Is this your lighter that I found under my pillow, or does it belong to Jacques?" While these two sip cognac in a fancy burlesque, "our two" gulp coffee at a sidewalk cafe. Both women call their lovers "Mon Petit." When one Mon Petit loses his duck, Napoleon, the other Mon Petit wonders why anyone would bother to put a string around a duckling's neck.

But barriers are breaking down: immigrants now hold 20% of all Australian jobs, and are neighbors of the old in suburban streets. Some 80,000 bachelor immigrants have found native-born wives. They're a Weird Mob, a breezy book about an Italian newcomer's discovery...
...everywhere," grinned Kubitschek, "I see everybody and the people see me. Deep in the interior, where airliners never go, when the children see an airplane, they call to their mothers: 'Look, mama, there goes President Juscelino!'" So far he has logged 6,000 flying hours in the air, prefers a helicopter to a car for getting around traffic-jammed...
