...your rose-colored glasses so they won't look so bad," bawled butchers in Pittsburgh's 70,000-seat stadium last week as a scant 27,000 football fans trickled in to watch Pitt play Fordham...
Though Jones was the hero, Pitt's victory was sweetest for John Gabbert Bowman, its 64-year-old chancellor. When Educator Bowman became head of the university in 1921, he discovered that alumni seemed more interested in a better football team than better teachers.

She and Frances Langford carry the torch songs while P. U., playing against Columbia, Pitt, and even Cornell, becomes the highest team in America in points scored--for and against. Fourth Horseman Desi Arnaz, an argentine, prairie wolf, shows possibilities of becoming the greatest threat to American womanhood since the fourteen-day diet. And Harvard's quarterback, Eddie Bracken, (who knocked down more passes in 1939 than any American except Ginger...
