Spring fishing tales and college sports notes mix in brief
In a light Spring feature by Hugh Fullerton Jr, readers get a travelogue of Maine lake fishing and a humorous encounter with a pricey sweat shirt. The column then shifts to short items: Louisiana racing commission powers, Colorado U planning a football game with Kearns, Utah, and coaching moves at Auburn and VMI. A Bear Mountain kid’s dime-store tale about pinball money rounds out the mix. The Italian front is framed by a Pravda assessment of a wider offensive in World War II.
