Holy Cross, for the second straight year, topped the nation's pass defenders and the Tigers rated ninth spot for passing offense...
...Sugino learned of the adulation accorded him at home for his promotion to glory. Rather than surrender his godlike reputation and disappoint the folks, Sugino settled down to nearly a half century's hiding in Hulutao, a bleak blister on Manchuria's coast. But in Japan his fame grew with the years, reached fruition when death-seeking members of the Special Attack Corps began hurling then-frail planes into U.S. warships at Lingayen Gulf and Okinawa...
