...capitalize on the new opportunities at hand in the best entrepreneurial tradition of their Scotch-Irish forebearers. Scott has emerged as the Crimson's second leading tackler this year despite missing the Penn game with a slight shoulder separation. John has caught 12 passes this season--including a covey of circus of grabs. What's more, he has snagged a touchdown pass in each of Harvard's last three games...
Jumping is status blind. The sport includes bankers and physicians, lawyers, grocery clerks, house painters, schoolteachers, coal miners and college students. Jock Covey, Henry Kissinger's ex-aide and now chief of the State Department's Israel desk, has 725 jumps. Wolfgang Halbig, 31, a University of Dusseldorf urologist, with 1,200 jumps, is one of 15 Germans here. "When you freefall, it doesn't matter whether you clean the road or you're a doctor," he says. "You just...
...freshman football practice was a crossroads in the career of Bat Masterson for another reason. All through high school he had played either safety or cornerback. However, when the freshman gridders began to group themselves by position, Masterson noticed there were eight players at safety and a covey of cornerbacks.

But it is a shared responsibility. While Jordan may be methodical to a fault, his boss has insisted on more elaborate procedures than in the past. The appointment process has been stretched from the normal three or four weeks to five or six because the Administration is making an unparalleled effort to avoid conflicts of interest and other potentially embarrassing situations. Security clearances and IRS checks are also taking longer than expected. "These people...
...stunning accuracy (a 66.7% pass-completion record), seven years of experience and sound football sense. Stabler stands behind an almost impregnable wall of protection led by Tackle Art Shell and Guard Gene Upshaw, his left arm ever cocked, "the Snake" ready to strike. Few quarterbacks have had a covey of receivers to rival Stabler's. Wide Receiver Fred Biletnikoff, 33, works the sideline like a 190-lb. Wallenda. His hands are liberally coated with Hold-Tite, but all the sticky goo in the world will not replace the 30 min. per day he spends tossing a football against a wall...
