...this point, like a wounded lion unable to kill, but still able to roar menacingly, the Bevanites answered back with a touch of the old defiance: "Trade union leaders are not a special breed of humanity, always to be shielded from the rough breezes of democracy. They . . . must run the risks of public life if they aspire to hold the prizes and the power. We shall continue to print the truth...
...probably a mistake for the Baltimore Colts' Bert Rechichar to boot a 34-yd. field goal early in the first quarter. It seemed to make his teammates nervous to be three points out in front of the Detroit Lions, the best professional football team in the business. Behind his own goal line to punt, just a few minutes later, Colt Quarterback Cotton Davidson got a glimpse of the whole Detroit line bearing down on him, fumbled the pass from center, watched Lion Guard Harley Sewell drop on the ball for a touchdown.

The Cypriots have pleaded for independence, but the British answer has been as blunt and undignified as a punch in the nose...
Last week Lion quarterback Benham completed 16 of 31 passes while the Crimson's failure to pass allowed the Columbia defense to pack in and limit the Crimson running attack to a mere six first downs. Even if the Crimson can't stop the efficient Beagle, it must disguise it own single wing offense with enough passing to keep the Dartmouth defense honest...
