...ballots to be distributed today will bear the names of Governor Thomas E. Dewey, Norman Thomas, J. Strom Thurmond, President Harry S. Truman, and Henry Wallace. The ballots will also permit write-in votes and will leave space for those who are uncertain to indicate their indecision...
...Ball of Minnesota. On previous occasions he has electioneered for Pat Hurley in New Mexico, Curly Brooks in Illinois, Edward Robertson in Wyoming, George Wilson in Iowa. But he was in an odd and disconcerting predicament.

Now Packer Coach E. L. "Curly" Lambean had gone ahead and in no uncertain terms declared that this team was the greatest thing to hit Wisconsin since Schlitz, every bit as good as his championship aggregations of 1929, '30, and '31 and the players knew it. The Bears were just ordinary Godfearing pro football players. They had Lujack, Luckman, and Layne and they stopped...
