...Bird's closest competitors for scoring honors this season: Syracuse's Dolph Schayes, 1,755, St. Louis' Bob Pettit, 1,644, and Cincinnati's Clyde Lovellette, 1,593. Next to those graceful giants, balding, knob-kneed, bony-shouldered George Yardley, 29, is an improbable-looking champion indeed. When he puts on his basketball uniform he looks like an absent-minded scientist who left home without his trousers. The illusion ends when the game starts. Then the Bird's loose, court-covering lope, his deft shots, his imperturbable balance in under-the-basket brawls, all blend...
Beech and Cessna might be one huge company today were it not for a personality clash between Walter Beech, a Tennessee farm boy turned pilot, and Clyde Cessna, another farm boy from Kansas. The two started off together, formed Travel Air Co. in 1925 with Cessna as president, Beech as sales manager. But after building two types of planes, one of which was the first commercial aircraft to fly the Pacific to Hawaii, Cessna went off to form his own company. Beech merged Travel Air with Curtiss-Wright and later, in 1932, formed his own company...

By sweet-talking creditors they reopened the plant, and, though Clyde Cessna sat as president until he retired in 1934, the man in charge was Dwane Wallace, then only...
...Pettit soon found that the pros play their own rugged brand of ball, but he survived the rattling rites of passage. On offense, his soft, floating jump shot is a model for the league. On defense, he has tactics for every player, e.g., against Cincinnati he presses hook-shooting Clyde Lovellette, but he lies back for the dribbling of Maurice Stokes. In addition, Pettit's rubber-legged rebounding starts the Hawks hustling on their fast break...
...Clyde Belin told reporters that he was determined to carry on. All he had to do, he said, was persuade his trustees to buy his campus to pay off his creditors and then lease it back to a new corporation called Belin University. After that, he planned to embark on another scheme-a retirement village for elderly folks, "especially those who have devoted their lives to God's work." But last week the angered and disillusioned people of Chillicothe hoped that they would soon see the last of the Rev. Dr. Clyde Belin...
