...morning broke each workday last week over the pleasant St. Louis suburb of University City, an impish-looking, tire-waisted man gingerly eased himself into a tub of steaming hot water and submerged right up to his jug-handle ears. For most men, the solitary ritual of the tub means a chance to escape for a while from the cares and worries of the world outside-but not for William Henry Mauldin, editorial cartoonist of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In Mauldin's cauldron, the heat creates light-in the form of inspiration for his drawing board. The water...
...well as a small kerosene lamp, books, matches in a waterproof case, first-aid kit, candle, knife, hatchet, bucket, small trench shovel, mosquito repellent, aluminum foil, toilet paper, foul-weather clothing, cameras, binoculars, a good topographical map (available at park and forest headquarters), handy nature guides and a Thermos jug...
...Author Cheever is in danger of getting bogged down in his talent-lined rut. He promises in the future to drop "all lushes," but The Scarlet Moving Van is the story of the handsome All-America football star who is so frightened by life that he turns to the jug and throws away the stopper.

Kuharich left Notre Dame with just one ambition: to return as head football coach. Kuharich...
...Iowa kept its crown as the nation's No. 1 team by beating Purdue 21-14. An impregnable Minnesota defense rocked Michigan for five fumbles, paving the way for a 10-0 victory and the return of the Little Brown Jug to the Gophers for the first time since 1956. In a third Big Ten contest, Ohio State won easily over Wisconsin, 34-7. Top service teams routed the enemy, Army smothering Villanova 54-0, and Navy shutting out Penn 27-0. A third-period 30-yd. Harvard pass upset Dartmouth 9-6, preserving Crimson hopes...
