...Baker took Lyman Bullard's pass for the first Freshman tally in the opening period, and Dave Baldwin put the '44 sextet ahead by a 2 to 0 margin later on when he scored from a pile-up in front of the Nobles' nets.

They are somewhere under there now," stuttered a chalk-faced newsboy, pointing in the street to a mountainous pile of masonry that minutes before had been Bucharest's elite, 13-story Carlton apartment house.
