Yale built its championship team under the standard Ivy League requirements, which would drive a Big Ten coach to despair: no athletic scholarships, plus entrance standards that are among the highest in the nation. Even so, rabid Yale alumni across the country were able to sell a flock of bright and burly boys on the idea of going to New Haven. The Chicago area alone-long a source of raw material for football foundries-supplied six starters, including Quarterback Singleton (6 ft., 200 Ibs.), Captain Pyle (6 ft. 3 in., 233 lbs.), and Center Hardy Will...

Heads in the Reefer. Dozens of dogs have been proved rabid, and in the county health department's refrigerator at El Centro there is a big backlog of heads from destroyed animals. Microbiologist Ella Capers Weston has not had time to check them all, has sent an overflow to state laboratories in Berkeley. At least 15 people have been bitten by dogs now known to have been rabid; scores of others have had to take the vaccine injections before the biters' rabidity could be established. Microbiologist Weston has taken them...
