Description	A newspaper or magazine clipping of a segment entitled "Strange as it Seems" by Elsie Hix. The text of this segment reads, "Tsuchi-Mikado, of Japan, remained unburied for 40 days after his death because there was no money for a funeral! A thermometer registers colder when first thrust suddenly into hot water! Don Klosterman broke 2 national records in one game! He attempted and completed more passes than ever before in one game--51 attempts, 26 completions! -Loyola U. of Los Angeles vs. College of Pacific, 1950." Each of the facts is accompanied by a black-and-white illustration: An interior scene with a body laid out on a table and covered by a sheet in the upper right, a hand holding a thermometer in a container of steaming liquid on the lower right, and football player Don Klosterman jumping and poised to throw a football on the left.
Historical Background	The Loyola University football team, the Lions, competed as an independent against teams from the Pacific Coast Conference and the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Conference from 1921 to 1951. Tom Lieb coached Loyola football from 1930-1938.
