...Yost and his Homecoming guests-including fabulous Willie Heston (1901-04), whose spraddle legs once scored no touchdowns-wriggled in among the 54,000 football fans in Michigan's magnificent stadium. They saw the vaunted Michigan backs-(Harmon, Kromer, Westfall and Evashevski)-trot onto the field and in less time than it takes to say Evashevski make sausage meat of a not-so-bad Yale team that had beaten Army and Columbia earlier in the season...
...Less publicized than Chicago's Bill De Correvont (now at Northwestern) whose football exploits were headlined from coast to coast when he wound up his career at Austin High with a total of 210 points in 1937, Tom Harmon nevertheless was not unnoticed by U.

...whom the Nazis had under heel in a concentration camp. Last week Professor Domagk discreetly referred to his Government the question of what to do about his award, murmured: "Even if I don't receive the money, the honor of being named is a most agreeable surprise."

...Less shouted about than Los Angeles' famed Hollywood Bowl summer concerts are the regular winter programs of Los Angeles' 20-year-old Philharmonic Orchestra. Golden Age of the Los Angeles Philharmonic was between 1919 and 1933, when the late copper tycoon William Andrews Clark Jr. lost $250,000 a year on it. When the cornucopia stopped flowing at Clark's death five years ago, a group of conservative Los Angeles socialites managed to keep his orchestra alive, but gave it less lavish rations. Proud were they of getting as permanent conductor world-famed Otto Klemperer. While...
