...chief reason the Jeffs are so good on defense is their big, blond co-captain, all-American fullback Drew Mallory. For the third year in a row, Mallory foiled Crimson scoring hopes Saturday, demonstrating awesome speed and uncanny reflexes...

He stands an even 6 ft., weighs 202 Ibs., and although by baseball's terms he is known as a wrist hitter, the description is not quite accurate.

Though his forebears were Irish Protestants, Durrell began his whirling-dervish life in India, where his engineer father helped build the Darjeeling Railway and died when Larry was 17. Recalls Durrell: "We lived the life which Kipling romanticized in Kim. All day long, processions of lamas passed my school whirling prayer wheels...
