...seen him nearly every day for the past three weeks . . . and not once with "rumpled pants." However, I am told he might have had "rumpled pants" one day, for during a downpour he took off his topcoat to put it around a young woman who had none. Perhaps that was the day. And for that act of chivalry you have publicly proclaimed him a wearer of "rumpled pants"! Tough on Ted 'cause it isn't true. He's most particular about his clothes...
...historic military mancuvers, none have been so daring as this, Hannibal swept through the Alps, Schlieffen goose-stepped his Prussians around Belgium, but only Boyer is seeking his objective through the Heart. Unlike Russia's overtures to Finland, the movie-star has already won the confidence of his feminine audience.

But to Army rooters that record was just the luck of the Irish: a field goal had beaten Purdue and Georgia Tech, a single point-after-touchdown had nosed out Carnegie Tech and Southern Methodist, one touchdown was the margin over Navy...
...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. But the Irish were quicker on the uptake. When an Army back fumbled in the second quarter, Notre Dame recovered, scored a touchdown. A few moments later, when Notre Dame fumbled...
