...achieve immediate school integration. Where governmental and educational leadership sympathize with the Court, integration can proceed smoothly--as indeed it already has in many border states. But in the Deep South, where leaders are by instinct--or at least by political necessity--hostile to integration, evasion will be the rule for at least four or five years after any "final date" that the Supreme Court lays down for de-segregation.

...themselves with helmets, shoulder pads, arm pads and long, ribbed gloves. Almost anything goes in the effort to move downfield and toss an India rubber ball into a netted goal, 6 ft. square. The ball can be carried, thrown or batted with the crosse (lacrosse stick); there is no rule against kicking it either. The rugged character who breaks for the goal while cradling the ball in his stick runs a gauntlet of swinging sticks. Sooner or later he is sure to hear the loud battle cry: "Deck him!"
