...Louria, last year's captain who also heads this year's team, is set for 165, probably one of the strongest positions on the team. At 175 pounds is Pete Fuller, an excellent amateur boxer as well as a star wrestler at Dartmouth two years ago. This fall Fuller played fullback for Boston's undefeated Jayvee eleven. Joe Hawryluk is also...

Fullback Pete Fuller, son of a former Massachusetts governor, is a piledriver who is an outstanding amateur boxer and wrestler in his spare time.

Usually by the time the studios get the script to him, he has only about six weeks to do the entire score. Much of his work sounds like a cut-&-paste job on themes and orchestral effects out of Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Ravel, Shostakovich. Some of his scores (for which he gets $15,000 to $20,000 apiece) have scarcely an original theme in them, are made up largely of a succession...
