...Bill Cobb and Bob Norton, first-year cornerbacks on the varsity, performed well against Holy Cross and have been developing promisingly, but the Crimson has no one after them. Neither Holy Cross nor Tufts has a strong passing attack, so Harvard's secondary will go into Ivy competition without ever being really tested...
...officials are convinced that the $1,000 or so invested in each of the students this summer will bring big rewards in the saving of otherwise wasted talent and in the kids' own dis covery of their potentialities. Of the first 50 students at Western Washington, Instructor Richard Cobb says: "Ten are going to fail, one should have been sent home the first week, and seven of them would have made it without us.

Dr. Greenberg found Cobb's weight loss about the same on all three diets. But significantly, with the protein diet, what disappeared was almost all body fat, and Cobb felt least hungry between meals. With the high-fat diet, two-thirds of the loss was fat; the rest was mostly water (one unwanted side effect: an increase of cholesterol and other blood fats). On the carbohydrate diet, only half the loss was fat; the rest...
