...color TV? Most TV critics agree that the picture it produces is generally excellent. The colors are soft, not glaring, and the image is easier on the eyes than black & white TV.* The difference is much more impressive than that between black & white movies and Technicolor.

Bill Kierstead's attempted aerial attack was smothered by a lack of backfield protection. The Crimson, behind the speed of halfback Lon Tsavaris, drove deep into time gun stopped the bid inside of the Cadet...
