When the 101st Airborne was surrounded at the Battle of the Bulge, Abrams led the relief column into Bastogne with an attack that was watched with un abashed professional admiration by Panzer Commander Fritz Bayerlein. Later, Abrams led the dash to the Rhine, moved so fast that he captured an astonished lieutenant general and his staff at their desks. Fighting far out in front of the Third Army, Abrams was frequently cut off. "They've got us surrounded again," he once said, "those poor bastards." Said General George Patton of his aggressive tank commander: "I'm supposed...
...most dogged linebacker, butt heads with the best in the country. Among them: > Baylor's bull-necked Ronnie Bull (6 ft., 198 Ibs.), a halfback last season, who was switched to fullback this year to take advantage of his straight-ahead speed. Bull runs the 100-yd. dash in 9.8 sec., has exceptional balance. Says Texas Linebacker Pat Culpepper: "You don't get Bull the first time-because he just bounces off.

The Kirov's tempo is more often a stately adagio than a flashy presto...
...been pumped into Ruidoso Downs' parimutuel machines, and the crowd's choices were a pair of California entries, Bunny's Bar Maid (2-5) and Golden Note (9-2). But when the ten-horse field broke from the gate for the breakneck straightaway dash to the wire, both favorites were left at the post, hopelessly beaten-for it is at the start, with jockeys flailing and horses driving hard, that quarterhorse races are won. Winner by a remarkable 1½ lengths was a lightly regarded chestnut colt named Pokey Bar, who shrugged off a 4-m.p.h. headwind...
