...team followed its usual Monday routine-a couple of hours in the Dillon lounge looking at the Cornell movies, then 90 minutes on the field. Group work, backfield and line drills, and a fast dummy scrimmage comprised the openair schedule...
Page at a Time. The news of successive accidents traveled fast this summer (though some Alpine hotelkeepers arranged to have the bodies carried down to the villages after dark to avoid talk). But the news did not seem to discourage the growing number of enthusiasts. The Alpine Club of France has almost 40,000 members, those of Italy and Switzerland 100,000 each, with booming sales of books and magazines devoted solely to how to scale a mountain...

There have been better trucking movies (They Drive By Night), but none so fast or so violent. Most spectacular shot: Millard Mitchell burning alive in the remains of his rickety truck. Most surprising scene: the flagrant cruelty of the hero as he unmercifully slugs a flabby villain who doesn't want to fight. After breaking an ax handle on the villain's hand, Conte...
