Fullback Mel Anthony, who scored three times, once on an 84-yd. dash -longest in the Rose Bowl's 51-year history...
...seven-disk series that includes "the very best of" Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Kern, Romberg, Lerner and Loewe, and Berlin. The records have too many humdrum instrumental numbers, but occasionally are brightened by the voices of singers worth listening for: Lena Home, Judy Garland, Mel Torme, Rosemary Clooney, Helen Traubel, Kate Smith and Maurice Chevalier. The Porter, for instance, has Louis Armstrong (You're the Top), Eartha Kitt (Always True to You in My Fashion) and Margaret Whiting (Just One of Those Things...
