...fullback Lamar expects to go with either Glenn Haughie or Steve Cohen. Most of the heavy ball carrying on a T offense is done by the halfbacks and the Yardlings are well staffed here with either Deane or Frank Crossen at left half while Bob Repsher should get the nod at right half. Quarterback Chuck Ravenal, another Exonian standout, has been directing the squad well in practice and he passed quite well in yesterday's scrimmage against the J. V.s.

...Utah's Arthur Watkins. Each was a ranking contender for the chair on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee left empty by Joe McCarthy's death, and it was Bricker's job, as chairman of the Republican Committee on Committees, to make the choice. Ordinarily, the nod would have gone to the Republican with the greater seniority. Bricker's dilemma: both Ives and Watkins were sworn into the Senate on Jan. 3, 1947. Technically Ives could claim a hairbreadth of seniority because he had held previous legislative office (New York state), but Ives...
