...Upset of the week, in which Coach Ossie Solem's young but smart Syracuse eleven bested one of the finest Cornell teams in years, was also distinguished by the most dazzling play of the week.

Musing on budget-balancing and third terms, he sang a song called Off The Record, confiding "I'm very fond of Eleanor, but I never read her column,'' vouchsafing further, with intervals of hoofing...
