Bradley, a 33-year-old former fullback for the Cleveland Browns, offers his audience as few comforts as possible. The Studio serves only hot wine and popcorn, and the customers are crowded unmercifully into a room scarcely larger than a pool table. The boss pays his performers only food and carfare, and the constantly changing program denies them even the salve of star billing. To pure folk singers, though, the problems are minor, and the Studio has become a shrine that wins the affectionate services of such stars as Odetta, Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger when they pass through town...
...ranked Illinois: a 17-7 Rose Bowl victory over unranked Washington, on the running of Sophomore Fullback Jim Grabowski, who scored one touchdown, gained 125 yds. In the Orange Bowl, Nebraska raced to a 13-0 half-time lead, barely hung on to beat Auburn 13-7. And in the Sugar Bowl, Alabama's Tim Davis booted field goals from 48 yds., 46 yds., 31 yds., and 22 yds. to edge Mississippi...

But then Navy's Staubach went to work-on the ground, not in the air. Sending Fullback Pat Donnelly ripping through the line, throwing just enough to keep the defense honest, Staubach put together three drives of 47, 80, and 91 yds., capping each with a touchdown by Donnelly. With ten minutes left to play, the score was Navy 21, Army...
Fall rugby's high point, the Princeton match (Yale has no fall rugger), was a minor catastrophe. Playing in the rain on the soggy field, the Crimson played without the services of its regular fullback. This handicap and an ineffective scrum left the Crimson lifeless as the Tigers triumphed, 16-3. The season ended at a disappointing...
