Playing on a terrible field under the worst of conditions, both teams spent the opening minutes learning how to dig the ball out of the mud and adjusting to weather conditions. At the 14 minute mark, Mike Bassett converted a pass from Tink Gunnoe for the first varsity score...
...Battin charged him with duplicity, called for his resignation. Last week the House Republican Conference issued a statement accusing Freeman of "half-truths" and "blackjack tactics." Freeman, the Republicans charged, was trying to turn the referendum into a "pressurendum."

We're on a three-shift basis now, and with the coming good weather, we hope to add another shift, if we can stretch the days and nights." Two U.S. astronauts were busy with space: Commander Alan Shepard Jr. was readying as back-up man for this week's scheduled flight by Astronaut Gordon Cooper, and Lieut.
