...held minor offices, taught school (tutoring yodeling on the side), even made B pictures in Hollywood (Strictly in the Groove, Frontier Fury). His four years as Governor were noted principally for a $38 million surplus (which Successor Earl Long soon spent).

Charley Brown is an undersized slum runner who is evacuated from London during World War II and sent with other refugees to a west-country village. At 13 or so, he has a good mind but a lousy head, and when his poll is shaved to free him from vermin, he acquires a cruel nickname.

When Wisconsin quick-kicked, the ball was blocked. Recovering, Wisconsin punted again, and fleet Halfback George Fleming gathered in the ball, scampered 53 yds. into the end zone. Making Wisconsin look slow-witted and heavy...
