1953

It's difficult to straighten out an autumn that began with a shellacking at the hands of our orange-clad rivals to the south. The only consolation, if there is one, was that the loss probably helped preserve my five different annual bets for bottles of Scotch. Our winning streak has been long enough that I think they are being repaid with their own whiskey.

I hope everyone remembered that after the November game at Columbia, Dick and Carol Kochman had a dinner at their apartment on Riverside Drive. November 10 in Hanover after the Brown game, there were cocktails up at Bill and Nancy Johnson's house on Rayton Road. And plans for the wind-up in Philadelphia on November 17 feature a cocktail party at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, right across the street from the stadium.

Aaron Epstein, a Washington correspondent for the Philadelphia Inquirer, was one of three winners in the first annual Washington Correspondent's Awards competition of the National Press Club. The competition honored the regional reporters who are the unsung heroes of Washington journalism — the life line between the cities they serve and the government colossus. Aaron has reported for the Inquirer from the Washington bureau of Knight-Ridder Newspapers for the last two years. He was named the winner in the category of justice reporting, which includes coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court, the lower federal courts, the Justice Department, the FBI, and issues of law. He was cited for his reporting and interpretation of events that directly concern Philadelphia — the affair Marsten.

Dick Cahn practices law from Huntington, Long Island. He has been active in Republican politics in Suffolk County for many years.

Dick Collins is in his 21st year as head football and outdoor track coach at Andover, Mass., High School. In those years his track teams have lost a grand total of five dual meets; his teams have won in their division of the state relays every year but one in the 15 years they have been in existence; and he has won seven Massachusetts class championships and five all-state crowns. Kaiser Cement Corporation has elected Tony Frank a director. He continues in his full-time position as president and chief executive officer of the United Financial Corporation, for which he also chairs the board. Tony was also elected to the board of Golden West Homes, a mobile home manufacturer in Santa Ana, Calif.
