Texas' rough-&-ready Governor James V. Allred was leaving the Pasadena, Calif., Rose Bowl (see p. 43) when he received a telegram from Secretary of the Texas Senate Robert ("Bob") Barker stating that Acting Governor Wilbourne Collie had called a special session of the legislature. Indignant, Governor Allred summoned a police escort to get through the football crowd, fumed when traffic blocked his car, clambered on the back of a motorcycle, fumed when traffic blocked the motorcycle, hopped off, hurried on foot to his hotel. While packing to board a plane, he learned that the Secretary of the Senate...
Harvard won all but two first places, losing only the 100-yard free-style after a nip and tuck battle between Donald McKay of Harvard and Eloranta of the visitors, and the 200-yard breast stroke, in which A. Dell nosed out Bob Heskett, Harvard merman. The team captured every second place...
Against such an away of talent the Harvard moment will have their hands full, but Coach Harry Ulen expects a creditable showing from his team. Bob Rutier, such more freestyle star, will force Chreodowell to the limit. Ulen thinks, while Graham Cammiags, an- other Sophomore, and Captain Bob Fisher should do well in the back stroke.

Scrooge is a British version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, released for the U. S. Christmas trade by Paramount. A properly mean, frowzy, waspish Scrooge (Sir Seymour Hicks), a fine, spindly-legged Bob Cratchit (Donald Calthrop), a frail, treble-voiced Tiny Tim, and a number of thoroughly capable minor actors move through snowy London streets and warm Early Victorian interiors. Projected with tenderness but without sentimentality are the sequences showing the rousing Christmas of the Cratchit family. Good shot: Cockney harridans cackling over the belongings of the dead Scrooge in the Christmas-yet-to-come...
