...things from getting dull, Greek Shipping Magnate Aristotle Onassis sailed his 325-ft. pleasure palace, the Christina, to Jackie's whitewashed villa and put the yacht at her disposal. Jackie had no trouble finding uses for it. She threw a dinner party and a midnight shipboard dance for eleven guests, among them the Radziwills, Owner Onassis and Under Secretary of Commerce Franklin D.

Local Lumber. Quietly, carefully, Wilkinson rebuilt the team-with local lumber. Six of this year's starting eleven are Oklahomans, and there are only twelve Texans on the 63-man varsity squad.

Harvard uses two very similar defensive formations, the "Oklahoma" and the "eagle." In both defenses, only three of the eleven men are down in a four-point or crouched stance; the rest are on their feet. Yovicsin says this means greater pursuit power, or the ability to get tacklers to ball-carrier more quickly. As last Saturday's game showed, their success depends on alert, aggressive linebackers...
