...division. George Doub, an outstanding member of last year's freshman squad, held his opponent scoreless in the 130-pound slot for a 5-0 victory. In the same class, Sophomore Bill Smith won 10-0. The Williams squad picked up its three points when Tom Owsley, a sophomore, lost 7-2 to a scrappy 147-pound Ephmen. This weight is usually wrestled by captain John Watkins, who is suffering from an ankle injury. Another Crimson sophomore, Lee Freeman, won a 9-3 decision in the 157-pound division...
...Society have been wrangling for ten years over the Legion's insistence that they drop their ban against admitting nonwhite members (American Indians are allowed). The Legion, which itself is interracial, pushed the question to a floor vote at the last convention (TIME, Sept. 7), but the integrationists lost. Authorized by his executive committee to the necessary steps, the Legion's new National Commander, Martin McKneally, Newburgh (N.Y.) lawyer and World War II Army major, last week did just that. He ousted the 40 & 8, forbade it to use the American Legion name, emblem or any other Legion...

...Mystery of Life, in which 22 figures watch a baby chick as it hatches out of an egg. From Europe, Eaton also brought back plans of three famous British churches-the one where Gray wrote his Elegy, the one where, according to legend, Annie Laurie prayed for her lost lover, the one where Kipling was (possibly) inspired to write Recessional-and had them rebuilt in Forest Lawn. The churches were intended for funerals, but last year 183 weddings were held in Eaton's cemetery...
