...obtained copies of FBI files which show that the FBI included King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in its harassment of "black nationalist hate groups." Additional files show that the FBI tries to provoke a "fight" between the Communist Party and "La Cosa Nostra" through a campaign of bogus letters and misinformation between the two groups...

LINEBACKER--Eli captain Bill Crowley gets defensive player of the year honors, and Columbia gets its only first-teamer in there with Mike McGraw. Jim Molnar had over 100 tackles for Penn, but Penn keeps bogus tackling stats--Molnar will have to join Brown's John Woodring, Dartmouth's Joe Nastri, Princeton's Andy Hvidston and Cornell's Jim DeStefano on the second squad...

...Lawyer Donald Dell, who served both as agent for a number of top players and as legal adviser for the Association of Tennis Professionals. Tournament directors, such as Jack Kramer, doubled as circuit organizers. The Federal Communications Commission and a House committee have looked into CBS's bogus $250,000 "winner-take-all" match between Connors and Ilie Nastase (in which Connors actually was guaranteed $500,000 and Nastase received $150,000). Far more serious are charges of players' defaulting and "tanking," or purposely losing matches. Occasionally, players who lose early in singles expend less than full effort...
