Assets to the Freshmen are an inside man from last year's Andover team (Andover can hardly know anything about Harvard since Lamar scarcely does), two left-handed quarterbacks (which may or may not be significant), a pretty heavy line ("its still fairly fat, though"), and far rower injuries than might be expected from a week of battering from the varsity. The team also boasts a probable fullback starter named Blitz...
...Babe Ruth? Against Boston's right-handed Bill Voiselle, Right-hander Kiner picked a fat curve and put his 195 Ibs. into an easy, carefully grooved swing. The ball cleared the left-field fence for home run No. 51. Three innings later, he put No. 52 in the same place.

The corn crop alone might hit 3.5 billion bushels and granaries were still clogged by last year's 805 million bushel surplus...

The Brannan plan brushes aside any idea of a gradual reduction of price props, and substitutes much higher support prices pegged to an "income support standard."

Entertaining and readable, it makes a small boy alive as he loses his cap and encounters a bronze idol. It captures the flavor of the West Side with earthy but unforced dialogue. Best of all, it tells a story which could easily happen, and with a touch of surprise which separates it from point-to-point narrative. The article is neatly packaged and easily unwrapped...
