Then, the veteran Bellboy team gathered itself and, led by sparkplug Goldie Goldsmith, began calmly and smoothly to overtake the fast-tiring and worried Kirkland five. The turning point came then Goldsmith stole the ball twice in succession and laid it up for scores. After that, Lowell turned on the pressure and won going away, Goldsmith getting points. It was the fifth straight victory for Lowell, and Kirkland's third less against two wins. Kirkland walked off with the B league game...
...under hats. Winchell displayed his usual talent for saying nothing at all with the strident urgency of Gabriel trumpeting Judgment Day. Pearson repaired to a phone from time to time and returned to dispense "inside" dope which was not particularly informative, but had a lively jangle. The real ABC sparkplug-and TV's top election reporter -was white-haired Elmer Davis, who spoke extemporaneously, generally made sense and radiated authority...

The roar increases to thunder as the turbine gathers speed...
Backfield power is the dominant factor in this year's all-House team. Eliot's T-quarterback Dave McGiffert, who sparked the high-scoring Mastodone all season with his ballhandling and deadeye passing, rates the nod under the center. Running in the halfback slots are Bob Zimmerman, sparkplug of second-place Leverett, and Austie Lyne of Eliot. Both these men ranked as top offensive threats. Lyne's scatback running and Zimmerman's passing standing out. At the fullback slot on the first squad is Bob Lyndblatt of Adams, whose line smashes as well as defensive prowess drew praise from Intramural...
