That Darn Cat. Come December, Walt Disney can be relied upon to deliver a big, bright Christmasy gewgaw for the holiday trade. Sometimes it is a stray animal epic, sometimes a folksy romantic comedy, sometimes a wholesome teen-age adventure. This year it is all three, wrapped around the substantial screen presence of Hayley Mills, who goes gumshoeing on the trail of a criminal tomcat while her sister (Dorothy Provine) scrutinizes FBI Agent Dean Jones. Hayley nips through her role as though English accents were an absolute must among subdebs of Southern California, and Scrooge himself might unbend when...
...almost like old times-distressingly so. There in the Nielsen top ten last week were the old familiar faces, from NBC's Bonanza, in first place for the second year, to Gomer Pyle, The Farmer's Daughter, Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, The Beverly Hillbillies, Walt Disney and Bewitched. There was Red Skelton, now in his 12th year and ranked No. 6. And back into the lead surged CBS,* which is still indebted to its fired ex-president, James Aubrey, for almost all of its current programming, including six out of the top nine...
...TACKLES: Walt Barnes, 21, Nebraska, 6 ft. 3 in., 252 lbs., and George Rice, 21, Louisiana State, 6 ft. 3 in., 255 lbs. Barnes, some scouts insist, is the nation's No. 1 college player: "If Jimmy Brown could get through him, he'd really be earning his pay." Rice is "a kid with the arms of a blacksmith. He knocks enemy guards flat on their butts with just a flick of his elbow...
...This is the most significant day in the history of the great state of Florida," said Governor Haydon Burns fantastically. Possibly it was, for then fantastic Walt Disney, 64, announced that he will enrich the state's tourist folklure by conjuring up a $100 million Disneyland East on 27,000 acres south of Orlando. "It's the biggest thing we've ever tackled," beamed Walt, who won't repeat Disneyland West, but isn't saying what goodies he has in mind. Burns had in mind a 50% increase in tourist trade, and straightway named Disney...
...Nebraska's history. No fewer than 68 of the 109 athletes who tried out for the team last spring were non-Nebras-kans. The Huskers do have Nebraskan Bob Churchich playing quarterback, but he has to alternate with Chicago's Fred Duda. Another Chicagoan, 240-lb. Tackle Walt Barnes, is the bulwark of a defense that so far has limited its opponents to 195 yds. per game. Cleveland's Frank Solich may be the smallest fullback (at 5 ft. 8 in. and 158 Ibs.) in major-college football, but he has gained an average...
