...Honky Tonk Train Blues" by Milt Herth is the first record I have ever hard by this Hammond organist that had some good ideas, well executed. "Slow Freight" is back in the same old disappointing style, however... Les Brown, back on the label he started out to record for (Decca), finally has a band that is mature enough to attempt things beyond seeing how many high Cs the brass section can play. "Comanche War Dance" is a very creditable version of the Ray Noble tune, and "Walkin' and Swingin'" is an excellent job on the Mary Lou Williams original. Plano...
...Boston Bruins, led by its sharpshooting "Sauerkraut Line" (Milt Schmidt, Bobby Bauer, Porky Dumart): the National Hockey League championship for the second year in a row; winding up the season with 31 victories, twelve defeats, five ties (67 points). Finishing in second place were the New York Rangers, with 27 victories, eleven defeats, ten ties (64 points...
Most overlooked but one of the best men in the band is first saxist Milt Yaner. And if you don't think that having a first sax that knows how to lead a section is important, listen to Benny Goodman's orchestra right now.

With Jimmy's bunch, however, it's just one smooth tone, and Yaner is the gentleman responsible for this very telling factor...
...comic-strip may seem a bit too close to the odor of the breakfast table to be worth serious consideration. The reader who finds a vicarious thrill in pouncing upon "Terry and the Pirates" each morning is apt to overlook the genuine skill of the artist, Milt Caniff, in favor of a few well-turned curves on the body of the Dragon Lady. Each section of Canift's daily feature contains a carefully planned composition, both in regard to figure placement and value rendition. His work is characterized by the decisive manner in which he manipulates lights and darks...
...snort at the present and sigh for the good old days in characteristics of track fans as well as the G. O. P. Bill Bingham, Penn Hallowell, Jack Seborer, Emile Dubiel, Milt Green, Norm Cabbera--these have become legendary figures in the annals of Harvard track. And there is no doubt that spectator interest in Crimson track teams has declined since the days when hundreds of athletes and thousands of fans annually poured into the Stadium to witness the country's college cinder classic--the I. C. 4-A meet...
