...about Tufts? All Shepard knows about the visitors from Medford is what Walt McCurdy has told him. McCurdy, a member of last year's team, played with a Business School outfit that lost to the Jumbos in an unofficial scrimmage. Coach Fred Ellis likes to play a wild and fast game. His team is about the same as Shepard's heightwise (the Smith-Rockwell-Prior front line averages 6 ft. 5 in.) and his best man is Perry, a dead set shot who is also very fast...

At the same time he mapped out his strategy for winning the public. One important campaign detail: constant caravaning through the hinterlands...
...business. In addition to Vaughn Monroe Productions Inc. (which covers his tours, records, and radio shows, brought in $1,000,000 last year), he owns or has an interest in a fleet of Boston taxicabs, an office building, a song-publishing house, a moving-picture producing outfit which has just completed a picture starring Vaughn Monroe...
