Last year, Delaware's Court of Chancery finally decided that Pepsi-Cola belonged to Loft, not to Mr. Guth. Then Phoenix' president, 43-year-old Walter S.

In the Yale line-up two of the most noteworthy players are Outfielder Eddie Collins Jr., son of the Baseball Immortal who helped bring fame to Connie Mack's pre-War Athletics, and Pitcher Joe Wood Jr., son of famed "Smoky Joe"* who won 34 games for the Red Sox in 1912. At Colgate another Immortal's son, Pitcher George Sisler Jr., has proved he is a chip...
...Fannie Brice invested it, her cool contralto and cozy curves are still cinemusically perfect. Some of the numbers old & new she ably croons and sighs: I'm Just Wild About Harry, I'm Sorry I Made You Cry, I Never Knew Heaven Could Speak (the last by Mack Gordon & Harry Revel...
