...momentum didn't stay with the Harvard footballers, though, as a defensive foul-up between fullback Prank Gerald and Zurchow allowed a fluke goal and a change in the tempo of the game...
RUDI GERNREICH is one of the few designers to see the funny side of fashion. The topless bathing suit was a typical Gernreichian prank - and it drew plenty of publicity. When he unveiled his spring line in New York City last week, Gernreich brought the house down with a four-sleeved dress.

From then on Restic alternated Stoeckel, Milt Holt, and Prank Guerra at quarterback, letting his reserves get into the action...

Baltimore may just be the strongest team in baseball, even without Prank Robinson, who has travelled out to L.A. to help the Dodgers in their pennant quest. Barring wholescale injuries or a total collapse, Earl Weaver's team won't have a great deal of trouble remaining on their traditional perch on top to the division. Their pitching, by a conservative appraisal, is almost strong enough to sustain the pennant drive alone, with no help form the offense...
