...instead of letting it roll across his own goal line. He was tackled hard. He fumbled. Ohio State's Quarterback Pincura fell on the ball for a touchdown. In the next period a Northwestern pass from centre bounced off the shoulder of Northwestern's fullback. In a flash Ohio's Right End Gillman had the ball, raced 43 yd. for the second touchdown. Ohio State's victory (12-to-0) silenced, momen tarily at least, alumni mutterings against Coach Sam Willaman...
...Master's Voice (by Clare Kummer; Max Gordon, producer). Except for such rare fumbles as last month's Amourette, Playwright Kummer usually exhibits flash and speed if not power and drive.

"Why," Budd wondered, "don't they start the games three or four minutes later and eliminate that trouble...

Up, up it sailed until it became a tiny silver bubble, then a pinpoint hanging in the sky. After about two hours the ground station received a radio flash from the Stratostat: it had passed Piccard's world record of 10 mi., was still climbing! Another three hours, and the U. S. S. R. had pulled itself up to 11.8 mi., was ready to come down. The descent went as smoothly as the ascent...
