Postmen on assignment in other cities and in Europe and Asia were ordered back to Denver, and all overtime work was banned. Reporters wondered when the pause would...
...they both gave inspiring performances last Saturday. Moreover, Army will miss the esprit de corps provided by its vigorous cheering section, but neither of these factors should dull the fierce blocking, tackling, and running of the team that ranks sixth in the nation in total offense. That's the fearless Army...
