Except for a few games still to be played here & there, the U. S. college football season ended last week. Reviewing the season, most football students agreed that the No. 1 team of 1939 was Tennessee, undefeated, untied, unscored-on in nine games, while it rolled up a total of 205 points. Close on its cleated heels were Texas Agricultural & Mechanical College (Southwest Conference champion) and Cornell (pride of the Ivy League), both undefeated and untied, but scored-on. Powerful Southern California, undefeated but tied by Oregon, has yet to play the University of California at Los Angeles before...
Block has 19 sponsors, who chip in a total of about $325,000 a year for air time and Block's "talent" services-turning records, purring commercials, keeping the Ballroom chatty and glittery. Last week Martin Block signed a new contract for five years at better than $30,000 a year. At the contract's end, he expects to retire, at 43, to live on his annuities. Says he-and this time he is not quoting Owen D. Young: "Don't let anyone tell you they can't live without working...
When Charlie McCarthy takes the air on Sunday nights, speaking the slick impertinences of Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, the Chase and Sanborn Hour traditionally has the ear of perhaps a third of the nation, largest radio audience in the U. S. But Charlie appears only twice (a total of about 15 minutes) during the hour: the rest is usually orchestra music, songs by Contralto Dorothy Lamour and Baritone Donald Dickson, effervescences by guest stars and a master of ceremonies. Between Charlie's turns at the mike, the interest of his vast audience wavers. Many tune in on other programs, others...
Senator Norris is no longer as young as he once was, and his remarks made less than no sense. Electric rates are not based on per share stock prices; they are based on the total amount of money invested (or supposed to be invested) in the business. Nor could Commonwealth & Southern rob Consumers Power even by buying its stock at 1? a share: Commonwealth & Southern already owns 100% of the common stock of its subsidiary, and regardless of price will still own 100% after the transaction it proposes. For that matter, Commonwealth & Southern would lose nothing by paying...
During the first six months of 1939 the total operating revenues of 1,050 Class I motor carriers (annual gross of $100,000 or more) were $130,108,000 (up 30% from 1938) on 19,184,000 tons of freight (22% over 1938). Last week American Trucking Associations, Inc. turned loose even more striking figures. Based on returns from 193 firms, it reported that in October, for the third successive month, highway motor trucking hit a new all-time peak. October traffic was up 5.4% from September, 33.4% over 1938, 23.2% over 1937, 51.3% above the 1936 monthly average...
