Midwestern football, a wag once said, is divided into four major leagues: Big Ten, Big Seven, Big Six and Big One. The Big One is Notre Dame. This year the Fighting Irish are no disgrace to the tradition that has made Notre Dame the adopted alma mater of millions of men-in-the-street...
When twilight fell on the People's Game of 1939, most football fans agreed that it was not Irish luck but heads-up football that has made this gear's Notre Dame machine one of the few undefeated, untied teams in the country. Except for Notre Dame's bigger & better backs (so many and so good that none hogs the spotlight), the margin of difference last week between the West Pointers and the South Benders was slight.

A thousand years of logical argumentation would fail to convince many people that Harvard--by Mr. Greene's action--is not squelching the Communist view of affairs. They will be mollified only by a reissuance of Browder's speaking permit. Indeed, if the Corporation persists in the course chosen thus far, there...
