Marquette's Ray Buivid, hailed as the ablest passer in the U. S., failed to shine as such in a night game against St. Mary's. His long throw to Higgins brought one touchdown but he ran for the two others that gave Marquette's "Golden Avalanche" Rose Bowl stature...

Its trolls and hobgoblins may show less timid readers a thing or two not visible except by moonlight...
