...Seeger's travels abroad, an unfortunately cursory version of his confrontation with the House Un-American Activities Committee (the full transcript is well worth looking up in Eric Bentley's Thirty Years of Treason), a list of the translators who did the King James Bible, quotations from Casanova and Lenin, and--most important of all --a liberal sprinkling of songs...

...passes, stiffened as requested and U.S.C. went on to win 18-0. It was the eighth victory in a row for U.S.C., the nation's No. 1 college team, and it further strengthened McKay's bid for the title of No. 1 coach. Said Oregon Coach Len Casanova: "A good coach has got to be a good recruiter, a good on-field teacher and a good tactician, devising strategy and making adjustments under fire.

Not surprisingly, money is a common motive for informers.

SAFETIES. Tommy Casanova, L.S.U., 6 ft. 2 in., 195 Ibs., and Bobby Majors, Tennessee, 6 ft. 1 in., 197 Ibs.

Majors is a "110% competitor" who has intercepted 13 passes in his last two seasons. Says one scout: "He has blinding speed and something better-intelligence. He's just plain football smart." SPECIALISTS. Mary Bateman, Utah, 6 ft. 3 in., 220 Ibs. College football's leading punter (average...
