...Second Spec. At week's end, NBC gamely presented its second spectacular, a TV version of the 1941 Moss Hart musical, Lady in the Dark, starring Ann Sothern. Just like the first spectacular, it was big, beautiful and contained too many production numbers. There was such a quantity of large-scale scenes that the camera could take only a few closeups during the 1½-hour show and many viewers may have felt that they were watching the entire production through the wrong end of a telescope...
...Hygiene building itself is hardly a place for an adequate medical center. It was set up in the shell of the old Spec Club that burned down in 1930. The inside is like a spider-web, with myriads of narrow hallways. Cramped offices lack of storage space, and a tiny den for testing eyes that no self-respecting optometrist would tolerate make life tough for both doctors and patients...
...before a Yankee nailed him. On the 27-yard line, the Yankees held. The Dodgers tried another field goal, but the Yankees blocked it. From then on, Rickey got the kind of speed he liked to see-but it was all done by the rival Yankees, in particular by Spec Sanders, Negro Buddy Young, and a Negro rookie named Tom Casey. Casey raced 94 yards to a touchdown, coolly pointing out to his blockers, a threatening Dodger safety man halfway down the field. Final score: Yankees 21, Dodgers...
Unlike Georgia's tall (6 ft. 2 in.) Spec Towns, who won the no-meters high hurdles in Berlin in 1936, Bones drives hard into a hurdle. Towns used to float over them. A notoriously slow beginner, Towns seldom got into the race until he reached the third hurdle. Dillard believes that the first seven strides (before taking the first hurdle in the 120 highs) are all-important. Says he: "They say I am unorthodox. But I figure any form that gets you there fastest is orthodox form...
...Yankees, as usual, relied on their Mutt & Jeff combination. The little man was swift, 5 ft. 5 Buddy Young, star Negro halfback of last year's University of Illinois team, who has kept enemy defenses loose and wide all season. With him as a decoy, big Spec Sanders, whose shoulder is higher than the top of Buddy's head, found it easier to rip inside tackle for big gains. Sanders, who didn't make the first team at the University of Texas, has gained more yards this year-1,384-than any other back in pro football...
