"It's real good land," Joe said as they surveyed the rolling countryside in the fresh fall air. "It's got good drainage and you can see the good crop growing here." Larry nodded.

Cat quick, Oldfield regularly defeats the pro tour's women sprinters in a special 30-yd. dash. Last year he turned down a $10,000 bonus offer to play for the New York Stars in the World Football League, but this summer he may try to talk the Miami Dolphins into giving him a shot at Csonka's vacated slot...
