Bertelli May Receive Heisman at Parris Island
The Heisman trophy may be presented to Angelo Bertelli at Parris Island rather than New York. Bertelli could not obtain leave for Fiesta, so the committee thinks presenting the trophy at the base would boost Marines morale. Ed Strangler Lewis recently appeared in the semi final of a show headlined by a dizzy blonde. All America Pat Preston of Duke hails from Mills Home Orphanage in Thomasville, North Carolina, the same school that produced Johnny Allen for major league baseball.
