...Oklahoma guard broke for the left sideline and outran an Eli defender, who tackled him as he crossed the goal line. Halfback Roy Williams ran for two points behind a winged T power play to make the score...
Over Cuba's revolt-riddled Oriente province one night last week, an Aero Commander two-engine plane outran a pursuing government DC-3. Then, its gas gone, the plane tried to glide into the nearby U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo and nosed into the nearby bay.

Morrison was operating under an unusual handicap, however: he had to run the last mile and a quarter minus one shoe...
