...meet, which stayed close through the first few events, ended in a total rout for the Bruins, as the Crimson swept four of the 16 events-the 60 yard dash, two mile run, high jump, and two mile relay-and placed the top two finishers in the mile run, long jump, 1000 yard run, and triple jump...
...kickoff and punt returns. Many teams carry a diminutive run-back specialist on their rosters. As fearless as they are frail-looking, they await the ball amid the growing thunder of approaching tacklers.

...bought toys. He also laces the film with humor. In the grand Hitchcock manner, he loves to show his characters passing over clues that are staring them right in the face. For Dreyfuss, he has written throwaway lines that highlight the absurdity that is implicit in Roy's wild dash for the unknown...
