...defending champion Indians opened their season poorly but have won four straight after their 9-0 win over the Crimson eleven Oct. 24. Dartmouth stayed in the running with a 12-7 triumph over Princeton Saturday on an 11-yard touchdown pass from captain Bill Gundy with 56 seconds left in the game...
...does all this survive? Most British schools have a new generation every six years; play-yard lingo ought to be highly perishable. Yet the Opies found little girls skipping to "Little fatty doctor, how's your wife?/ Very well, thank you, she's all right," a chant that goes back at least 130 years. Measured in school time, it has had more than 20 generations of wear. Children find it as fresh as ever...
...railroads' chief case is against their 40,000 firemen, who have little or nothing to do in modern diesels. The roads argue that taking some 23,000 firemen off freight runs and yards alone would save them $200 million a year.

Under the obsolete rules, a train crew gets a full day's pay for every 100 miles traveled, and conductors and trainmen on passenger trains for every 150 miles-even though the actual traveling time sometimes takes less...

Says E. F. Bidez, vice president of the Central of Georgia Railroad: "In 1958 we paid firemen on freight and switch engines $1,005,000. Considering the fact that we could get along without most of them, that's a good bit of money. It's 50% of the net earned last year." The Great Northern Railroad reports...
...safety and two points, then with a touchdown. After the half, Kinney continued to play effectively, but the Bullpups began to pass and run through the Yardlings almost at will. They soon closed the gap to 24 to 22 and, minutes later, scored the clincher on a six-yard plunge by Dave Weinstein to remain undefeated...
