Without blanching, last week Philadelphia's weekly meeting of Methodist clergymen heard Rev. Dr. Samuel Walter Grafflin, 66, a colleague from White Plains, N. Y., declare: ''The Church is spending too much effort reaching the nice little boys instead of the hell-raisers. And while I'm at it, let me say something in favor of that grand old word, hell. I'd like to know the bo who first called that word profane. The ministry could do nothing better than legitimatize it. Hell is the only word...
...contributed by distillers -Seagrams, National Distillers, Glenmore Distillers, Beng & Sons, George L. Tracy, Bertoglio & McTaggart.

In all, Texas Christian tried 45 passes. Though Sam Baugh was shooting them right into their arms, his receivers could...
After counting up the damage, newshawks agreed that Dartmouth, Minnesota, Princeton. Southern Methodist and Texas Christian were all strong Eastern Rose Bowl material. Dartmouth, the nation's highest scoring major team, has yet to play Princeton. For the third successive year, Princeton's juvenile journalists derisively flayed the Rose Bowl game, this time as a "commercial classic," summarily counted their team out. Minnesota would probably decline, if asked, because of Big Ten conference rulings. Left as most probable choices were Southern Methodist and Texas Christian...
