...successful bowl games was going on the line against Pitt's hungry Panthers, but Bobby Dodd, professionally casual coach of Georgia Tech's unbeaten Yellow Jackets, saw no reason to get steamed up about his trip to Jacksonville for the 'Gator Bowl game last week. As usual, he let his boys horse around in practice; as usual, he promised them that all they had to do to win was play for the breaks and trust in Dodd...
...part of its usual year-end review this week, CBS presented an unusually fresh, informative survey of the progress of science in 1956. A mixture of filmed and live features. The New Frontier rounded up stories that TV covered inadequately or not at all while they were breaking, blended them into a fascinating hour of sights and sounds-mutterings picked up by radiotelescope from Mars and Jupiter, pictures of the origins of the universe reproduced in a test tube, the advance of headhunters of a South Pacific island from Stone Age barbarism to modern civilization in 25 years...

Wobbly Borrowers. But all seemed well in Ellenville until last month. Then eight national bank examiners started to go over the bank's books, wondering why the checks drawn on other banks had been taking three to four weeks to clear the Home National, instead of the usual two to three days. Rose hastily called a friend on the bank board and confessed: he had been manipulating the bank funds, holding up payments on incoming checks to tide over a couple of wobbly depositors. Rose resigned, saying he had done it all for Ellenville. One of the doubtful...
