With all his old swagger, The Haig teed up, smacked his ball far down the fairway. As the crowd's eyes returned to the tee, they popped. There, teeing up, was another Haig. It was Walter Hagen Jr., 20-year-old Notre Dame sophomore, as green-eyed, chinless, nonchalant as his famed father...
Caroline Durieux, a genteel Creole lady from the seedy Bohemia of New Orleans' French Quarter, grew depressed at the closed shutters and slatternly denizens of Bourbon Street where she lives, and painted a picture of several chinless, crop-headed characters, melancholy as bloodhounds with distemper. This she labeled Unemployed (see cut) and sent it all the way to New York to take its place with the rest...
Stage manager of this legislative demonstration last week was slim, almost chinless, 34-year-old President David Lasser of the Workers Alliance of America. By now a thoroughgoing professional at marching his squads of unemployed into a State capitol and virtually taking over the legislative proceedings in the name of higher relief standards, Lasser and his Workers made their headline debut at Madison, Wis. last March.

Captain and left halfback is Jimmy Hitchcock, baldish, small, fast, whom Auburn publicists like to compare with famed Red Grange. Quarterback "Ripper" Williams is a clever arrogant field general. The Tigers have a chinless end, David ("Gump") Ariail, who may make the All-American, a stuttering sophomore end named Bennie Fenton. So far this season. Auburn has made 255 points to its opponent's 34. Last week Auburn emerged from a close shave-14-to-7- against Georgia with a claim...
