...weather, and another estimated 20 million were set to watch the game on television in the biggest (134-station) hookup in sports-television history. Cleveland was favored by just three points, the margin of a field goal that might be kicked by Cleveland's famed Tackle Lou ("The Toe") Groza. But Layne & Co. had other ideas. Detroit's huge (average: 235 Ibs.), hard-charging line forced Graham to fumble soon after the opening kickoff. Layne promptly called on an old Texas high-school football mate, Doak Walker, for the Detroit score. Graham, stopped, could only retaliate with...
...toughest tasks Dwight Eisenhower has faced as President of the U.S. is the job of capturing control of the Government. After 70 years of ups & downs, the civil service had spread its patriarchal protection over 95% of all 2,500,000 federal employees. Ike had trouble getting a toe hold on 900 top policymaking jobs in Washington for his own appointees.

By this time Lahar had become very unhappy, and because there is the possibility that Colgate may someday play Harvard again, he practiced extra points last Saturday. That Dartmouth happened to be the Colgate opponent didn't help matters much. Lahar used four different men, and got the same result...
Despite the S.R.O. signs, it looked as if the Sadler's Wells Ballet Company had got off on the wrong toe. For more than two weeks, the company, on its third visit to Manhattan (TIME, Sept. 21), staged some familiar oldtimers, but its new numbers were largely disappointing-and at times, plainly dull. Then, last week, Sadler's brought on another new one, a bucolic, mythological tale entitled Sylvia. "Magnificent," cried Critic Walter Terry in the Herald Tribune.
