guardsmen one of whom I recognized as Gordon Alt an old B.H.S. product. Tho other boy's name was Snyder and said he knew Ben at Iowa State. While we were talking a chap in civilian clothes standing nearby asked if he could get in on all the handshaking. His name turned out to be Miller and a fraternity brother of Ben's at college. Some coincidence wasn't it? New York didn't seem quite so big to me this time, perhaps because I didn't have to use the subways. I stopped for a moment at 42d & Broadway and gazed at the Times building from which the score Iowa 7 - Notre Dame 6 was flashed time and again in neon lights on the night of Nov. 11, 1939. It was Chuck West who told me that as we stood on that same corner the night of the Heisman Award. I took a leisurely dinner in the Cafe Rouge of the Penn Hotel. Too bad George couldn't have been my guest, for I was all alone and Charlie Spivak was giving forth in a most enjoyable manner. According to all reports he is suppose to have some outfit. Is that right, George? Afterwards I laughed continually at Howard Lindsay & Dorothy Stickney in "Life with Father." It was so very good, so very funny
