This past year, moreover, Centre's small enrollment managed to turn out a team that beat all eight of its opponents, led the nation in offense, and--if it could have paid for train tickets--would have played in the Tangerine Bowl at Orlando, Florida.

The huffing-puffing locomotive is Joan Crawford, a siren from Chicago, and what she does to the proud sons and daughters of the Old South is a caution.
