...Party mayor. In downtown Manila, an assassin killed a candidate for governor of one of the outlying provinces. In a nightclub near Manila, a gunman severely wounded Jose B. Laurel Jr., son of the wartime puppet President and now Speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives, pumping two .45-cal. slugs into him before being chased away by Laurel's own bodyguard. The threat of violence has become so serious that President Ferdinand Marcos has sent detachments of the federal Constabulary into Manila and Batangas to strengthen understaffed local police forces, may send the troopers into other cities...
...Most. That description fits a San Francisco dockworker's son named O. (for Orenthal) J. (for James) Simpson, 20, whose rookie year on the Southern Cal varsity may turn out to be the most spectacular season any major-college running back ever had. In his first six games, Halfback Simpson has carried the ball 180 times for 987 yds., is well within reach of the alltime season records for most carries (296) and most yards gained (1,570). O.J. also catches passes-eight so far, for 114 yards-and even throws them occasionally: in five attempts he has three...
...that Simpson is the only horse in the Trojan camp. He may be the fastest-last June, O.J. ran the third leg on Southern Cal's sprint relay team that set a world record of 38.6 sec. for 440 yds.

And Fullback Mike Hull, at 230 Ibs. the heavyweight of the U.S.C. backfield, has been clocked at 5.6 sec. for 50 yds. in full football gear...
SITUATION: the 1965 "big game" with Archrival Southern Cal. U.C.L.A. trails by ten points with only 4 min. left to play. What happens? Sophomore Beban throws a 34-yd. pass for one touchdown, a 52-yd. pass for another, and U.C.L.A. wins...
Slumping Yale trailed Connecticut 6-0 going into the final period at Yale Bowl, but an option pass and a run, both by halfback Cal Hill, pulled out a 14-6 win. The Elis had a surprisingly tough time putting down an intrastate rival over which it holds as 18-1 edge. Quarterback Greg Lawler had trouble moving his team, but injured signalcaller Brian Dowling. Yale's only apparent hope for this season, appeared on the sidelines in uniform, sans cast. When he will be able to play is an important mystery...
