...Hague tried for a vital fourth-quarter point after touchdown. The kick was wide, but after rival Michigan was called offside, Hague tried again and this time the ball went squarely between the goal posts. That tied the score, 7-7, and helped Ohio State finish the season as co-champions (with Michigan) of Western Conference football. It also guaranteed the Buckeyes a trip to the Rose Bowl...

Though Eastman's earnings for the first nine months this year were down about 17% from 1948, it's common, stock dividend was higher ($1.70 v. $1.60 last year). Therefore, the bonus, based on the dividend paid to stockholders, was higher also. Paid to everyone employed before last October, the bonus consists of $25 for every $1,000 earned...
