...nation's newest speed merchant is an 18-year-old, bowlegged Texas cowboy, who guesses he looks pretty funny in a 100-yd. dash. He would rather wrestle steers or score touchdowns for San Antonio's Thomas Jefferson High School (he was the state's top scorer two years ago). Then his coach said that track would help his footballing, so Perry Samuels became a sprinter-and all last year ran a close but chronic second to speedy teammate Charley Parker (TIME, May 15, 1944).

Fast-finishing Army last week whirled by Pittsburgh (71-to-51), then dumped Rochester (79-to-42). Their captain (and football halfback), Dale Hall, leading scorer in the East last season, has flicked in no less than 142 points in ten games, to boost his team's scoring average to 60.9 against their opponents...

Jack Noble, who came in at center for the ailing Captain Mike Keene and was Stahl's sole substitution, shared the losers' runner-up honors with Jack Wallace, each tallying six points...
...sharp contrast with the total of 14 free throws an official at Brown awarded Bill Jenkins last week, the referees at Cushing called only five fouls on the victors, and but nine against the Crimson. Even Anderson, high scorer for the home team with 12 points, failed to sink a foul shot...
