...Bill Frate, Dave McDowell, Pete Simonds, and Fred Horween, the line hit hard to bottle up the Andover running attack. The only way the Blue could advance consistently was on pitchouts, end sweeps, and short passes. Andover's score came on a pitchout and pass play with two minutes remaining in the game. But by the time, the freshmen had a 13 to 9 lead...
...sudden death of popular ex-Governor Ralph L. Carr meant more to Colorado Republicans than the loss of their best chance to take the governorship back from the Democrats. Until Candidate Carr died of a heart attack just after the primary election (TIME, Sept. 25), they had figured that his name on the ticket would also be enough to carry able, unspectacular Eugene Millikin into another term in the U.S. Senate. Slipping off to the home of a national committeeman in Colorado Springs last week, the state's Republican leaders settled down to look for a successor who could...

Last Gasp. In the south, Walker on Aug. 7 mounted the first sustained U.S. counterattack of the war, to drive the enemy back from his disquieting proximity to Pusan. General Craig's marines joined this "spoiling attack," but Walker pulled them out after they had helped to upset the enemy. He had to make shift with what troops were already at hand, shuttling them from one crisis to another. The next reserves due to arrive-the bulk of the 1st Marine Division from the U.S. and the 7th Infantry from Japan-were earmarked for Operation Chromite, the invasion...
