...once. "I fake with every part of my body," says the Cleveland Browns' Bobby Mitchell (6 ft., 190 Ibs.). "I use the shoulder shake and I use the head shake and I wiggle the hips. They all help to throw the tackier off balance." For Mitchell, the easiest defensive backs to fool are the fastest of foot. "They come up quickly and commit themselves right away. A slower one is harder to go all the way on. When I've got a blocker in front of me, we try to 'freeze' him by running straight...

...word "sacrifice" from Senator Kennedy's vocabulary. (This defect, it must in all fairness be added, has been largely remedied in recent weeks). The program that their candidate--and it must be remembered at all times that he is still their candidate--has embraced is not the easiest and most comfortable for the American people to adopt.

The only way you can run effectively over...

Snub Nose. The easiest, fastest cone to develop was the "heat-sink"' type, made of thick copper. Since copper is an excellent conductor of heat, the cone's front surface could stay solid until the whole mass was near the melting point. To many, it seemed obvious that a nose cone should be made slim and sharp-pointed, capable of piercing the atmosphere with low resistance. But the contrary proved to be the case. Dr. H. Julian Allen of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics argued conclusively that a blunt nose was better for the heat-sink cone...
