Tackle: Dan Lanphear, 21, Wisconsin; 6 ft. 2 in., 222 lbs. Major: economics. "In the Ohio State game, he hit a couple of guys so hard they had to be helped off the field. Could be a great defensive end for the pros...
Quarterback: Don Meredith (TIME, Nov. 2), 21, Southern Methodist; 6 ft. 3 in., 195 lbs. Major: business administration. In his three-year career, Meredith completed 61% of his passes, hit for 25 touchdowns. "One of the greatest players to come out of the Southwest since Sammy Baugh.

PHS filter tests, on which Dr. Burney relied, were completed in the spring. For all his forthrightness, Dr. Burney was leading with a glass chin because his information was out of date...
From the Federal Reserve Board last week came news that department stores started their Christmas season from the highest take-off point in history. Sales in the final pre-Thanksgiving week hit 182 on the 1947-49 index, up from 169 in 1958. Only 5% ahead of 1958 at the beginning of November, department-store sales were 6% ahead in the second week of the month, 8% ahead in the third. Other signs of a faster beat in the economy...
