People, Jan. 3, 1938

"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:

University of Colorado's bespectacled 20-year-old Byron Raymond ("Whizzer") White, All-America back and 1937's high college football scorer (122 points) who this week plays in the Cotton Bowl game against Rice Institute, was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University where his brother Samuel is currently a Rhodes Scholar.

"This team has great strength on the attack. Indeed, I defy anybody to pick a more offensive aggregation." So wrote massive, loudly liberal Columnist Heywood Broun, old New York World sports reporter, in his syndicated column, picking his own 1937 All-America Stuffed-Shirt Eleven. Eliminating a left wing entirely, Leftist Broun put both Sinclair Lewis and Boake Carter at right guard, Dale ("How to Win Friends") Carnegie at quarterback, New York's bumbling Senator Royal Samuel Copeland at fullback. "Because he has a tendency to block the attack of his own side," Mr. Broun, against the advice of friends, made A.F. of L.'s President William Green centre instead of a blocking back. At "extreme" right end he placed Colgate's spoon-collecting President George Barton Cutten, onetime (1897-98) star Yale halfback of whom Mr. Broun wrote, "Whenever three or four manufacturers are gathered together, there is the not very famous educator giving it the old college try."

To restrain radio's funnymen from capitalizing on her bawdy Adam & Eve skit (TIME, Dec. 27), National Broadcasting Co. issued a ukase barring mention of Mae West on programs of the 15 stations it ovi'ns or operates. Not affected were 130 independent stations leasing NBC broadcasts.
