Ike Hailed at Capital (Universal Newsreel, Nov 1955)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. IKE HAILED AT CAPITAL - Returning to Washington, D.C. President Eisenhower is hailed by thousands. After a few eloquent words of thanks to well-wishers at the airport, the President proceeds to the White House, through streets lined with crowds. Then, on to Gettysburg, and his farm, where Ike will complete his recuperation, while carrying on the nation's business at the "little White House." 2. BIGGEST JET BOMBER INTO SERVICE: CALIFNORIA - The first B-52 jet bombers go into squadron service with the Strategic Air Command, marking full acceptance of the huge, inter-continental bomber, capable of ocean-spanning range and speeds of better than 600 mph. 3A/B/C. GRID HIGHLIGHTS — U.C.L.A. – WASHINGTON - The underdog Huskies of Washington are loaded for bear, as they go into the second half with a 14-7 lead. An upset in the making, but it fades as in the final minutes they give their foes a 2-point safety, and the Bruins' Decker boots a field goal for a hairbreadth victory 19-17, in the final seconds. / PRINCETON – YALE - With an impressive win over Army behind them, the Bulldog tackles its ancient Tiger foe, and gets severely clawed. Yale's nemesis, Royce Flippin, keeps a four-year jinx alive as he sparks Princeton to a shattering 13-0 triumph. / MICHIGAN STATE – MINNESOTA - The Gophers are game, but the Spartans operate with martial precision, and it’s a one-sided battle. Minnesota tallies twice, but Michigan state, in quest of a Rose Bowl bid, boosts its national standing with an overwhelming 42-14 final score.
