   From "Views of Sport" by Red Smith, the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 21 September 1946, pg. 15, col. 7:

   _Bar the Goal Line, Katie_
(...)   When they got it they needed just one play--a sixty-six-yard pass and run--to tie the score.  And from then on it was Katherine, slam the portal, as first one team and then the other went surging across the meadows.

LEGAL CLINIC

   OED doesn't have "legal clinic."  "Health clinic" isn't too good, either.
   From the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 24 September 1946, pg. 20, col. 5:

_William S. Weiss, Lawyer;_
_Operated "Legal Clinic"_
-------------------------
_Crippled by Illness He Set Up_
   _Office to Aid Needy Clients_
   William S. Weiss, fifty-eight, died yesterday at his home, 161 West Eighty-sixth Street where, crippled by illness, he had conducted what he called a "legal clinic" for the last twelve years.
   Graduated from Yale University (Naturally--ed.) in 1908 and from Columbia University Law School in 1911, Mr. Weiss was a member of Cohen, Cole, Weiss & Wharton until illness compelled him to retire in 1930.  Four years later he set up his private legal bureau in his home for the benefit of persons of small income who found themselves in legal difficulties.
   As most of his clients had just enough shrewdness to think that free advice was worth no more than it cost, he charged $1 to those who wished to pay.  Many difficulties he was able to settle out of hand.  More complicated cases he referred to a practicing attorney.  Members of his family believe that at least 5,000 persons called on him in twelve years.
   Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Ray Levi Weiss; two sons, Samuel W. and John K. Weiss; a daughter, Mrs. Mary Ellen Lobsenz; a brother, Louis S. Weiss, and two sisters, Mrs. Nina W. Stern and Mrs. Carol W. King.
