Citroën's two basic models, the tinny, 20-year-old 2 CV and the 13-year-old, bullet-nose DS, were highly successful in the 1950s and early 1960s, when automanic Frenchmen would wait months for a car.

A javelin thrower who held the University record for a month last spring, Champi can heave the football. In the touchdown drive, he hit junior bantamweight John Ballantyne with a bullet. Ballantyne made a fine leaping catch for 30 yards to the defense 10. A few plays later, Champi connected with Newcomer Skip Vaccarello for a six yard...
