Best performance of the first week was turned in by Doctor Blue Willing's kennel-mate, Air Pilot Sam. This handsome pointer found five coveys and one single, but made a false point and obeyed none too well for his famed handler, Ed Farrior. The judges also liked Golfer Glenna Collett Vare's Tips's Manitoba Jake and G. M. Livingstone's Shanghai Express, called them back for a run-off when the first series was over. Shanghai started off with a false point, handled one covey with style and finish, then sinned heinously by flushing...
Most interest of the evening centered on the bout between Captain Jim Gaffney of the football team and Yarding Tudor Gardiner, which the latter won by excellent boxing coupled with the ability to withstand the sledge-hammer slugging of the pigskin handler, Gaffney, pounding the Freshman wildly in the first round, was tamed later when Gardiner helped him lose his enthusiasm by stepping inside smashing books and belaboring the gridman's head...

Leggett, acting chairman of the nebulous National Emergency Council, to succeed Stephen Early as press secretary...
...septuagenarian's silky grey beard, spread over his hospital blanket, jerked each time he gasped the oxygen which an electric motor blew upon his face. Another midnight passed, and attendants of Brooklyn's Jewish Hospital left Aaron Handler, dying of heart disease, alone for a while. Then a dull boom from his room recalled nurses and internes on a dead run. They found Aaron Handler's beard a shriveling, stinking torch fanned by the breeze of oxygen. Whether the electric pump emitted a combustive spark, or whether his beard generated a spark by rubbing against the woolen...
