...offense, Harvard's blocking was indecisive and in too many cases failed to take out the line-backer. Charlie Bryson, one of the backers-up, made a host of tackles. The willowy Mahoney and Bill Altieri, the other end, were also difficult to block...

Mostly he told the people about the issues of the 81st Congress, and how to apply for a Farmers Home Administration loan, wound up offering to send a weekly news digest from Washington...
