...marathon craze-173 holes, 196 holes, 231 holes, 235 holes, posted almost daily by husky young caddies, schoolboys and even a Chicago housewife out to prove that 144 holes from dawn to dusk was nothing extraordinary. When a Northwestern University freshman played 301 holes, putt-putting around on a scooter bike, J. Smith Ferebee, nettled by such theft of his thunder, announced that he was embarking on a golf marathon to end all golf marathons: 600 holes in four days-a minimum of 72 holes in each of eight different cities (two a day) from coast to coast...
...high school at 15. Now 21 and taking up his education again after five years spent over the chess boards and bridge tables, he is seeking not only an A.

In the next period Stanford's speedy Fullback Bobby Grayson slashed and passed through the Trojan line, punched over a touchdown. Southern California's line stiffened and it looked like a tie game when Bill Corbus went to work...
...beaten for the second time this year, 13 to 0. In the first quarter occurred a prolonged, painful, unproductive collision between two of the ablest college lines in the U. S., mostly at Notre Dame's end of the field. In the second quarter, small, cotton-topped Irving ("Scooter") Warburton, U. S. C. substitute back, caught a 35-yd. Notre Dame punt and took it back to where it started, at Notre Dame's 44-yd. line. Warburton picked up 14 yd. through the line, then 2 more. Coach Howard Jones sent in one of his ablest passers...
