Tbing~ That Ilewilder UN Why some ball teams attempt to bunt a nuin down to second when they're eight runs behind . especially if they're playing the Yanks... What anybody sees in macaroni besides a hole. Whether educators will ever agree on whether the study of Latin does or does not train the mind...

How a woman can carry a handbag the size of a small steamer trunk and still forget to include therein her change, cigarettes and driver's license... The daily conflicting communiques on the Russo-German front... How coaches can pick an All-American team when they're not eten certain of the eleven best men on their own squad after three months of observation.
