AMERICANA The Whispered Faith Brigham Young was a Mormon bold, And a leader of the roaring rams, And a shepherd of a heap of pretty little sheep, And a nice fold of pretty little Jambs, And he lived with his five andforty wives, In the city of great Salt Lake Where they woo and coo as pretty doves do, And cackle like ducks to a drake...
...been a while since a Penn-Brown contest was any kind of a feature event, but next weekend, it will be the main attraction of a doubleheader, at which Drexel Tech and Lafayette will also perform. Penn welcomed prodigal quarterback Ron Dawson back into the fold last Saturday, and he scored two of the Quakers' four touchdowns. Brown, which has not beaten Penn since 1964, has two of the league's best backs in Tom Spotts and Gary Bonner, but not a whole lot else...

Labor Secretary James Hodgson, the Administration's belated emissary, also stopped by to pay his respects. He was one of the few White House men who managed to get the last word in during a slanging match with onetime Journeyman Plumber...
Playing Brinkmanship. Chicago cannot support two afternoon papers at a profit. Says Emmett Dedmon, 53, editorial director of the Field papers: "Sooner or later, there has to be one afternoon paper." Neither side, however, will let the other have an afternoon monopoly or be the first to fold. Publisher Marshall Field V, at 30 the prime mover of Field Enterprises, admits that "the losses are stupid." He accuses the Tribune Co. of "playing brinkmanship"-stubbornly taking deficits on Today in hopes of forcing the Daily News under. One block away in the Tribune Tower, H.F. Grumhaus, 68, the crusty, reticent...
