...Governor Wallace's coup in Wisconsin with an optimism bordering on the quixotic. James Farmer of CORE disposed of the Wisconsin returns with the rather obvious if not reassuring, observation that "there are many prejudiced people in the North as well as in the South." President Johnson tried to smooth ruffled feathers by reciting the vote totals with a curious voice inflection: "Seventy-five percent voted against Wallace, while only twenty-five percent voted for him."

...muddy field made smooth passwork an achievement in itself. Players got mud in their sticks, and often lofted gobs of goo along with the ball after scooping it off the ground. The midfield play was especially sloppy, and not altogether gentle. On several occasions the officials allowed the pushing and shoving over loose balls to go a bit far, and there will be plenty of sore ribs for a few days...

...centuries have been concocted from wax, incense, ale, bread, synthetic hormones, turtle oils and placenta extracts. The latest lotions are made from, of all things, cows' blood. Developed by the research laboratories of meat-packing Armour & Co., the process uses proteins drawn from the blood to temporarily smooth and fill in furrows, much like a glossy, translucent mudpack. The lotions are invisible on the face, because they react to light the same way that human skin does...

Captain Sandy Walker, a steady, smooth backcourt specialist, and rangy Bob Inman, a powerful shotmaker and a fine doubles player, round out the top six just now, but there will be plenty of challengers. Peckham, Tom Jones, and a brigade of sophomores all might be in the running. Vic Niederhoffer, number three last year, won't make the Southern trip but will be playing after vacation...
