Thanks, this link was so much fun. It was amazing to read the sports columns prognosticating about whether or not Holy Cross could repeat as NCAA Champions, and the other articles were quite interesting as well, including the opening of the new gym that we are now tearing down. The adds for cigarettes and beer were also eye opening, as well. A different time, to be sure! |

Always fun to pick out names.
Jim Ronayne was mentioned in the baseball article, along with, of course, Jack Whalen. Jim was AD and football coach at Newton North HS.
In the basketball article, one of Michigan's stars was Bob Harrison, who coached Harvard when James (TV guy, not the GOS) Brown played.
Another article mentions the Boston Braves, who the author feels is going to "go for it all" in 1948, having purchased Eddie Stanky for 60 grand. Turns out the author was right, the Braves won the NL that year.
The same article complains about baskeball officials, guess nothing's changed there!
