THE COVER
- This sportive nation of ours, having survived a summer of baseball hysteria, is now devoting weekends to getting upset about football. Next will arrive basketball, hockey, and so on; then baseball, not to mention golf, tennis and, oh, what else harries you? Well, today it seems that Glenville High has invaded a hostile town and taken the big bruisers, 7–0, in their own bailiwick. So now as autumn’s premature twilight creeps over the hills, home come the conquerors, proudly preceded by special heroes, including a superhero—No. 33—in a disintegrated jersey. And now, are they ringing the win? Artist Ben Prins, in painting Glenville, made it a composite of five small towns, which poses the question: With all that football talent to choose from, why didn’t they win 35–0?
