This year's Super Bowl zebras will, as always, be an all-star cast, chosen by N.F.L. Supervisor of Officials Art Mc-Nally and his staff after watching game films and grading performances. The referee, linesman, head linesman, umpire, field judge and back judge who rate number one will get to call the big one this Sunday. Two retired N.F.L. referees who have been there before, Norm Schachter (three Super Bowls) and Tommy Bell (two Super Bowls), last week reflected on the techniques and pratfalls of the official's craft: Schachter on Super Bowl preparation On the Friday...

Evans, described by Benson as a wing who "always comes out of the corner with the puck," was a first team All-Star pick in the Ontario Hockey Association last year, and a number one draft pick of the Major Junior "A" Hamilton Fin-Cups.

The task falls on the shoulders of George Smiley, typically a shrewd but atypically a paunchy and unglamorous secret...
...pressure lay squarely on the Dodgers. They waltzed their way through the season, playing less than .500 ball after the all-star break. They then made the Phillies look like soft vendors in a playoff series that lasted only four games. Meanwhile, 3000 milvs to the East, New York was staging a three-team Texas Death Match in the American League East that went to the next-to-last day of the season, only to go on to win its second consecutive toss-up series with Kansas City to earn the right to play the bullying Dodgers...
