...touchdowns and ran for another against hapless Colgate. The romp, which made Yale's game winning streak the longest in the nation, was achieved without the services of star halfback Calvin Hill. Hill will be back in action this, week, and with him and Dowling and the rest it looks as if the Blue winning streak could go on all season...
Those who come to see Rednecks are a different breed. They are mainly kids, kids like the ones that protest and yell in the rest of the country. When they reach the South, they are in for a surprise.

The ritual has an important purpose: about half the people who come to Alabama are Southern...
...down, feeling like an innocuous white boy; I didn't realize what had happened until the barber had strapped me in and begun his lecture on the evils of liberalism, the North, and--most of all--long hair. In a way, I had to be grateful. For the rest of the summer, my semi-U.S. Marine appearance helped me avoid trouble...
