...Army infield of Gene Fisher at first base, Art Martina at second, Mike Conrad at short, and Joe Cygler at third is considered one of the weakest West Point infields of recent years, averaging six errors a game. Army's hitting is also poor, with cleanup batter and end left fielder Ralph Cheanauskan the only 300 hitter on the squad. Chesnauskas, a regular football tackle, missed the first two baseball games because of spring football practice, and has added a great deal of power to the Cadet attack since his return...
Playing five singles, Fischer gained the Crimson's only individual victory, beating Warren Berry 6-2, 9-7, and then teamed with Maynard Canfield in third doubles, to outlast Gene Goe and Berry, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. Fischer played excellent tennis, consistently hitting sharp volleys and accurate passing shots...
...play, talk of short holes and trick clubs turns just a little sour. Souchak's scores would look good on a pitch-and-putt course. Even in the tournaments he has not won, his cards have kept him in contention with such seasoned campaigners as onetime Amateur Champion Gene Littler, Tommy Bolt and U.S. Open Champion Ed Furgol.

Collared by cops, the little villains were hustled back to Autry, who awoke to drawl: "Well, I'll be doggone!" How had the lads hornswoggled...
Sinatra's wild reception was the latest-and biggest-in a series of triumphal visitations by U.S. stars that began last July. The Artie Shaw-Jerry Colonna-Ella Fitzgerald-Buddy Rich troupe, which grossed a record-breaking $103,500, came first. Others followed fast. Drummer Gene Krupa was drummed in by a corps of Aussie drummers beating out Sing, Sing, Sing. Crooner Johnnie Ray touched off the wildest teen-age hysteria in Australian history. Stripper Gypsy Rose Lee was condemned by both the Baptist and Roman Catholic churches. Crooner Nat "King" Cole summed it up: ""Boy, no artist...
