Simourian and Elkenberry did not take part in contact work yesterday due to slight injuries. Both men alternated at the wingback spot in last Saturday's game against the University of Massachusetts. Jordan does not, however, expect that the injuries will seriously weaken his team's wingback position for the Cornell game this Saturday. He has plenty of depth in the backfield spots...

But despite such arty fumbling, which also marred Author O'Connor's novel Wise Blood (TIME, June 9, 1952), this is still a power ful and moving tale of an innocent Pole who stumbles against the South's color bar. Whatever her uncertainties in the longer form, Flannery O'Connor packs a punch in her short stories that for sheer sardonic brutality occasionally recalls the early Graham...
