...Case four years ago became a college president at 41; last week his kid brother, James Herbert Case Jr., made the grade the day before he turned 40. Jim Case took over at small, 159-year-old Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pa., 300 miles southwest of Brother Ev's Colgate. Chief speaker at the inaugural: Brother Ev...
Last week, 63-year-old Bill Evjue (pronounced Ev-you) was mad again. What irked him this time was the death of the Progressive Party (TIME, March 25). A faithful disciple of old "Fighting Bob" La Follette, he had been convention chairman at the party's birth at Fond du Lac in 1934. For most of its life, he was the movement's editorial mouthpiece. Confronted with the party's corpse, he refused to call it suicide. It was murder, he cried. He demanded an autopsy, accused the La Follette brothers of killing the party "by kidnapping...
Three weeks ago, Coach Ev Shelton and his Wyoming Cowboys began a big-city invasion. Because most players have never been out of Wyoming, he lets them see the shows and the sights. Says he: "We let them have fun and thus keep them relaxed." They relaxed at Gary, the first stop, and shot Valparaiso's tall boys full of holes; they mauled St. Joseph's at Philadelphia.

Sparkplug of the new program is clear-eyed, billiard-bald President Case, 44, who was dubbed by a Princeton classmate ('22) "the man whose forehead is most likely to recede." Slow-moving but thorough, "Ev" Case well knows that the success of the Core depends, more than anything else, on having a crack, wellrounded, flexible faculty. By his own steady example in his two and a half years at Colgate, he has impressed the value of these qualities on the older hands. For the future, he has a sharp eye out for men who consider college teaching an education...
...Vinal Rhythm Kings last Sunday, and in its augmented form including trombonist. George Lugg, who was to join the band eventually. Before returning to New York on the N.H.R.R.'s midnight Owl, Lugg went out to Charlie Vinal's that night and recorded eight sides with Charlie, Johnny Windhurst, Ev Schwarz, and Jack Hart. Of course, these records will not be released, although if it weren't for wartime conditions (including my own status) I'd be inclined to issue the four best sides privately. The most successful efforts were "Squeeze Me" and "Tin Roof Blues," both in medium tempo...
