...Negro voice! this time a soprano, threatened to claim a share of Contralto Anderson's laurels. The voice was Dorothy Maynor's (TIME, Aug. 21), plump, Norfolk-born daughter of a Methodist minister, who had been studying for several years with courtly Manhattan Vocal Coach John Alan Haughton. The picked audience of musicians and critics who heard her run the gamut from Wagnerian hallelujahs to coloratura tinkletones spoke of her as a native Flagstad...

SCENE TWO. All right, young man, we're quite capable of finding our way around this stadium alone. We played here before you were born. Those were the good old days. Back in the days of Horween and Haughton, ch, Ed? We used to smear them all, then. Why, if we had ever dropped three games in a row they'd have run us out of the Gold Coast. But no wonder with guys like us, Ed--we were men. We went through teams, not around and over them. Look at the kids here now. Don't they look young...
