It was a year that saw Ezzard Charles rise to title fame over the faltering Joe Louis.--It saw the N.Y. Yankees again the world's champions in baseball, and saw the baseball owners vote to unseat Commissioner Happy Chandler.--It was a year of upsets in football, with Notre Dame being beaten four times and Navy sinking the Army and the nation's number one team was Oklahoma, unbeaten thirty-one games straight.- -Hill Prince was named "Horse of the Year," and the spills at England's Grand National were bigger and better than ever.--The Beavers of City College won both the National Invitation and the National Collegiates in basketball. They hit the jack-pot!--Our roving cameraman looked far and wide for thrills and chills and spills, and found plenty. Rodeos were replete with rampaging beasts and falling cowboys, and in the arena, matadors got tossed by angry bulls. Motorcycle whizzards raced on sand, and six-day bike racers went on a round of spills, while water skiing reached new highs of color and suspense. On snow-clad slopes, ski jumpers and speed aces vied for fame and ofttimes found only bruises. Yes, a scenic spectacle of the year's best for the fan.
