...spindle-shanked Negro halfback from South Carolina named J. C. (for nothing) Caroline was going to run the Illini right into the Rose Bowl. They lost four straight before J.C. got untracked. ¶ Wisconsin had Alan ("The Horse") Ameche, a standout All-America fullback. But The Horse was hog-tied by Ohio State, and Howard ("Hopalong") Cassady, a rampaging redhead, ran off with the ball game. Still shaken, last week the Badgers lost another to Iowa, 13-7. ¶ Rice had Rapid Richard Moegle, last year's Cotton Bowl hero, but it managed to upset the dope by losing...
Bullets raked his 320 lean and hilly acres, killed a hog, a mule and a dog, and pinked daughter Zola's left ear. Webb thought it best to go away for awhile.

This year hog farmers finally took action. Reason: vesicular exanthem, a disease of hogs that, unlike trichinosis, is not transmissible to human beings. Reports the University of Michigan's Professor Arthur Dearth Moore in the A.M.A. Journal: "This virus disease spread in the country at wildfire rate . . . through the feeding of raw garbage. [It] not only hit the large herds of the garbage-feeders but, because of its infectiousness, quarantines were called for that [also] stopped the shipping of grain-fed swine out of many areas. That affected the farmer's pocketbook. Without hesitation, the farmers turned...
