...Colorado College reached for a West Pointer [TIME, Dec. 22] in hiring Major General W. H. Gill (ret.), it was fortunate in not getting what it reached for.

Most of Charley's passes went to ex-West Pointer Barney Poole, who is just two shy of the record for catches. Charley was certainly a good All-America...
