...exaggerated it, overplayed it and touched it up with interludes of near-slapstick adventure. His Richard Black of Gorker Street in Cincinnati decides to become a great writer at the age of nine, and on his attic typewriter pounds out stories of Tan the Wonder Dog, of Detective Jim Burdett, of the tenth-round comeback of Battling Ramsey. Later, influenced by Caldwell, Hemingway and Faulkner, he turns out endless stories of prostitutes, gangsters, murderers. In college he edits a highbrow magazine and runs away with the wife (five years older than himself) of a law student. After they have hitchhiked...

Kopp can not count on them for other practices or games, and whether the two will be racking up points against Burdett Junior College this afternoon is a most point...

John Altrocchi and Bill Mobraaten will line up in the forward posts with Dick Covey and Chuck Brynteson covering the guard positions and Frank Lionette at center. Lanky Pat Dailey will see part time action in the pivot post, while John Goldsmith and Dave McGiffert will get a chance to fill in at the forward slots...
