Each one of these classes is dominated by a House champion. At 145 Tom Butler of Dunster is the favorite, at 165 Hugh Smith of Winthrop leads the pack, and at 175 George McNear of Kirkland is favored. McNear won the unlimited title in the House tourney, but was able to make the weight at 175 for this match. Footballer Phil Isenberg, House winner at 175 pounds, is not competing. Isenberg won the title by a TKO last year...
...Smith's new president is Benjamin Fletcher Wright, a bush-browed, pipe-smoking social scientist who looks younger than his 49 years. He was born in Texas, went to Texas public schools (in Austin) and the University of Texas, spent World War I as a private in Texas, and married a Dallas girl. In the early '20s, he took a Harvard Ph.D., later moved north and joined Harvard's faculty as an instructor in government...
...push aside some of his own work (including a book on the Federalist Papers, which he never got around to finishing), but he still takes time to read novels ("anything but detective stories"), listen to Mozart records and play with his two children and two cats. At Smith, one of his jobs will be to raise the $2,000,000 left to go in the college's $7,000,000 drive.

Script (circ. 27,000), the West Coast imitation of The New Yorker, had almost written "The End" last Christmas, when the magazine's backers (including Moviemaker Sam Goldwyn and General Manager Bob Smith of the Los Angeles Daily News) pulled out. Publisher Ik Shuman, once an editor of The New Yorker, bought the monthly from them for $1, and tried to keep it going. But production costs were too high, and revenue too low. Last week Shuman sadly put the final issue to bed. Then he called his creditors together to write a P.S. to Script. Debts...
...script leaves little room for love interest. Dorothy Malone, who ends up marrying Kennedy, hardly gets past the threshold of the plot. But Alexis Smith, as a sultry barroom singer with her lids at half-mast and her lips provocatively ajar, weaves more prominently in & out of the all-male hubbub. Eventually, her shady morals and mascara notwithstanding, she becomes the wife of Rancher McCrea. The highly involved plot in South of St. Louis, always pretty implausible, moves along at a fast enough clip to look convincing, and most of the principals are old enough hands at this sort...
