Air Force Blue and Silver film dream mockup
A humorous imagination of casting a wartime Air Force musical film with stars like Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler set around an academy, football, and graduation. The piece riffs on roles for Oakie Gorcey Vallee and others, imagining plots, romances, comic relief, and a climactic airman graduation amid heat and nostalgia. It also notes Kansas University sports banquet topics and gift standardization.

Ezzards Charles Wins Shaky Decision Over Andrews
In Chicago last night Ezzard Charles, aged 34 and weighing 193 pounds, battled young Paul Andrews from Buffalo to a split decision after a slow, all-action round. Charles was knocked down in round two but endured savage hooks to win 94-91 on one score, 96-95 on another, and 95-89 on the third. He vows to continue boxing as his comeback treadmill spins toward a likely August 3 bout in Syracuse with Hurricane Jackson.
