...Silvers) was obviously just the sort of career soldier whom TV sorely needs. Week after week, the Phil Silvers Show gave Bilko a chance to prove that noncoms really run the regiment, and week after week Bilko proved that he rated his stripes. Bolder than the brass he heckled, brasher than the brightest operator in his informal command, Bilko ran his outfit with the earthy, barracks-brand humor that can make service life (and TV watching) tolerable. He was one of those rare peacetime soldiers, a guy who never figured to need any "shipping over" music; any Army recruiting sergeant...

...Harvard-Yale team failed to provide Phil Morgan and C. W. Brasher with any opposition in the three mile. The fact that the English won this event was not surprising, but Morgan's performance was amazing. Brasher edged Morgan out for first two years ago when the English traveled to Harvard Stadium for the combined meet and again this spring in the Oxford-Cambridge meet, but the smooth striding Morgan was clearly the master in this race. He not only ran the race 15 seconds faster than he ever had before, but beat his supposed superior by almost 20 seconds...
