Led by All-America Cazzie Russell, the University of Michigan's No. 3-ranked Wolverines were running the lanky legs off Duke's Blue Devils, the nation's No. 1-ranked college basketball team. Russell was all over the court, snaring rebounds, intercepting passes, scoring points in bunches of six or eight at a time.

By contrast, St. Joseph's highflying Hawks were not only still undefeated, they had not come...
...heavily lined patrician features, thin lips turned down at the corners, hooded eyes. Traveling the world in search of stories, he napped after lunch wherever he happened to be-aboard a tramp ship plowing the South Seas, in a Burmese hut or an outrigger canoe. Churchill, Wells, Cocteau, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Kings of Sweden and Siam called on him at Villa Mauresque, his Moorish retreat on the Riviera where, working never more and never less than four hours a morning, he set down most of his books...
