...that he is the finest runner to come out of the Antipodes since Snell and Fellow Aussie Ron Clarke. So far this season, he has won 14 out of 15 races, losing only the 600-yd. dash in the Los Angeles Times games. At that it took a virtual dead-heat world record performance (1 min. 8.7 sec.) by Martin McGrady and Lee Evans to defeat him. In the longer distances, Doubell has been unbeatable. In Albuquerque last month he ran 1,000 yds. in 2 min. 5.5 sec., shaving half a second from Snell's eight-year...
...country's top test drivers and endurance racers, most notably with the 200 m.p.h.

...have always been opposed to the extra point after a touchdown. Therefore I consider the Harvard-Colgate game to have been a dead-heat. Each team scored three touchdowns which represents the true outcome of the game. The extra point, won or lost, should not be permitted to interfere with the real complexion of the game...
