Died. John McPartland, 47, husky, bushy-haired chronicler of suburban sex foibles (No Down Payment), successful freelance journalist; of a heart attack; in Monterey, Calif. McPartland, who once wrote, "Sex is the great game itself." lived as harum-scarum a life as any of his characters, had a legal wife and son at Mill Valley, Calif., a mistress at Monterey who bore him five children and who, as Mrs. Eleanor McPartland, was named the city's 1956 "Mother of the Year."

With the ball on the Crimson eight and a three-point deficit to fight, Ravenel began a long drive that carried to the Buffalo 20. Not long afterwards, Pete Briggs recovered a fumble on the 29, and with five minutes to go Ravenel again took charge...
