...fleeting Taylor. He ran doggedly, with a look of desperation on his face, and he was too late. The team dazedly lined up for the extra-point attempt. From the battered and bewildered aspect of the players you could tell that the try would succeed. The Crimson tried to mount an offense in the game's closing seconds, but the squad's determination was gone. As the gun sounded, Ravenel was tackled hard on an unsuccessful reverse...

Though technically retired, Dr. Lewisohn follows closely...

Layoffs caused by lack of steel continued to mount. General Electric Co. began laying off 1,400 workers in its heavy appliance manufacturing center at Louisville, said it will have to close down its entire operation employing 11,000 unless the steel strike ends within three weeks. Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. last week laid off 521 workers at two Midwestern plants, will drop 1,200 more...
