...Olympic competition, the decathlon most closely reflects the original Greek ideal of all-round athletic excellence. An entire track and field meet in miniature, its ten events in two days add up to the toughest individual test of speed, stamina, strength and spirit ever devised. The man who wins the Olympic decathlon well deserves to be known as the finest athlete in the world. That man last week was William Anthony Toomey, a 29-year-old schoolteacher from Santa Barbara, Calif., who not only captured the gold medal but set an Olympic record in the process...
...All-Round Athlete. In Purdue's opening game against Virginia this season, Keyes blasted his 205 lbs. through a wall of tacklers to score from 3 yds. out in the second quarter, then lofted a 12-yd. touchdown pass to End Bob Dillingham in the third period to lead Purdue to a 44-6 victory. Next week it was Notre Dame, ranked No. 1 and aching to avenge last year's 28-21 upset by Keyes & Co. Not a chance. In the second quarter, Keyes took a pitchout on the Irish 16, faked to the inside...
...watched Red Grange and Tom Harmon, but Keyes is the greatest all-round player I've ever seen," says Purdue Coach Jack Mollenkopf. All-round athlete would be more accurate. In his senior year at George Washington Carver High School in Newport News, Va., Keyes scored 21 touchdowns in football, led the basketball team with an average 27.5 points per game, and set a state track record with a 24-ft. 4½-in. long jump. More than 80 colleges were after him until he chose Purdue. There, in his first varsity year, he was a defensive back-until...
...caused by or will be followed by a power shift inside the Kremlin. But the chances are that Moscow's blow was aimed entirely at restoring order inside Russia's Eastern European domain?as the Soviets were careful to point out?and is not necessarily a sign of all-round aggressiveness against the rest of the world. On the contrary, it is possible that the move has so weakened Russia's prestige and so strained its relations with other Communist parties that adventures elsewhere are the last thing that Moscow can now afford...
Best of Both. Although salaries at state universities still lag behind those at the top private schools, the best public institutions can now get the best professors-a fact witnessed by academic recognition of Berkeley as a finer all-round school on the graduate level than Harvard. Massachusetts now pays full professors an average $17,300-and President John Lederle is an aggressive raider of private-university faculties. Among his recent catches: University of Chicago Mathematician Marshall Harvey Stone, N.Y.U. Botanist Oswald Tippo, Yale Physicist Robert Gluckstern and lohns Hopkins Astrophysicist John D. Strong, who brought...
