There is the growing conviction among competent observers down at the practice field in the afternoons that if the Crimson Juniors can flash their weekday form on Saturdays, they will give the major opponents on their schedule all they can handle.

They...
Sirs: In regard to Mrs. Patterson's "hen house"*(TIME, March 4): poultrymen in neighboring countryside look with envy on Cissie Patterson's "hen house." Amazingly prolific, her hens every weekday lay an egg in six editions, and on Sunday an inflated goose...
