...states, which he has given poetically apt new names and boundaries that cut across existing state lines. The new state of Bitterroot, for instance, named for a local mountain range, takes in most of Idaho, slices of Oregon, Montana, Washington and northwest Wyoming. Cochise unites major portions of Arizona and New Mexico. Plymouth embraces the city of Boston, the eastern portion of Massachusetts, and part of New Hampshire. New York City and environs would become the state of Hudson, and Alamo on the map is basically Texas without the panhandle. Under these circumstances, perhaps Old Glory could use some revitalizing...
...touchdown passes and completed 51.6% of his throws. The next best bet as signal caller is Stanford's (14) MIKE BORYLA, 6 ft. 4 in., 200 Ibs., who has passed for 4,082 yds. in 30 games, or (15) DANNY WHITE, 6 ft. 3 in., 182 Ibs., at Arizona State...
Running Backs: (16) WOODY GREEN, Arizona State, 6 ft. 1 in., 202 Ibs., and (17) WILLIAM ("BO") MATTHEWS, Colorado, 6 ft. 2 in., 219 Ibs. The scouts' eyes are popping over Green. "He's the type who can make a weaker pro franchise into a contending club," they say. Blasting out of the backfield as if he were fired from a bazooka, Green has darted through defenders for 1,182 yds. this season. Matthews is a big powerful runner who rolls over rather than around tacklers. But his greatest attraction to the pros is his blocking prowess: "This...
...comet lectures. In January, when the comet will be visible in the evening sky, New York's Hayden Planetarium is planning an even more elaborate happening: a six-day "Flight of the Comet" aboard a chartered Boeing 747. The tour will feature stopovers at observatories in California and Arizona. There, the participants will be treated to candlelight dinners and lectures while Kohoutek glimmers in the sky. Cost: $1,750 apiece...
...early discovery meant that Kohoutek was not only intrinsically brighter than Halley's comet but probably quite large. Astronomer Elizabeth Roemer, of the University of Arizona, estimates that Kohoutek's nucleus is about 25 miles in diameter, far larger than most comets, probably including Halley's. Other astronomers calculate that Kohoutek weighs about 1 trillion tons. But size is not Kohoutek's only distinction. It will pass within 13 million miles of the sun. That close flyby, well within the orbit of Mercury, should make for a dazzling interaction between sun and comet. Perhaps most important...
