...offense, charging a group that held blocking dummies in the position of the Yale defense. I realized that it was my first contact in a week as I went thundering into one of the sophomores. He threw down the blocking dummy in disgust--I had stepped on his toe...

On the same play five times this season he had bounced the ball...
...Louisiana State: a 13-10 squeaker over Syracuse, in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans, on a 28-yd. field goal by Doug Moreau-his 14th in eleven games, and the fifth time this season that his talented toe has provided L.S.U. with its margin of victory...
