Leakey's Homo habilis may well become established as an ancestral man-if he is not first demoted to an apeman, as was Zinjanthropus...
Strategy for Yale works this way. Apeman Stu Thomson and his teammate Tom Henderson are being counted on to score heavily in the shot and weight threw; Bill Donegan and Harry Work, in the pole vault; Mike Stanley and Jack Meader in the 1,000 yard run; Joe Albanese and Ross Price, in the 600 yard run; and whomever Gigengack picks in the two-mile relay...
