Like now-retired New York Jet head man Weeb Ewbank, Harvard varsity lacrosse coach Bruce Munro is learning that not all illustrious coaching careers end in a blaze of glory. Munro, retiring at the end of this season after 26 years at Harvard, at best will field another scrappy unit that will have to fight to keep itself out of the Ivy League cellar...
...claims that road tests show that a car can run on 18% water and 82% gasoline, with such a low output of pollutants that the engine does not need the mileage-robbing emission-control devices required on new cars. Similar results are reported by University of Oklahoma Professor Walter Ewbank, who is testing a gasoline blend containing 13% water on some Postal Service trucks...
...contractor, Ewbank (William Swetland), is on the verge of bankruptcy, but he wants to give his daughter a splashy lawn wedding reception. His workers are sullen, sassy and querulous. Two of them, Fitzpatrick (Emery Battis) and Marshall (John Cazale), verbally dominate the play, like stinging tarantulas.

Whatever slim hopes the Jets had of winning centered on Namath's arm - and the only thing he seemed to be exercising was his mouth. The Colts, he said, were not only beatable, but their quarterback, Earl Morrall, the N.F.L.'s most valuable player, would have a tough time making the Jets' third string. Holding court at poolside or swirling a double Scotch-on-the-rocks at a pregame banquet, Broadway Joe's message was always the same: "We're going to win. I guarantee...
