...season that saw Louisiana State's Pete Maravich break the career-scoring record of Oscar Robertson, Murphy's achievements tend to be overlooked. In three seasons, Murphy averaged 33.6 points a game, the third highest mark in major-college history-quite a feat for a fellow so comparatively small that most high school coaches would turn him down at first glance...
...antigovernment mood. It feeds partly on old resentments, real and imagined, against American business domination of the Philippines, and partly on some specific grievances against the President. Filipinos are increasingly cynical about Marcos' 2,000,000-vote margin of victory in last November's presidential campaign-a feat that they quite reasonably believe could only have been achieved by widespread vote buying.

Gonzales and Atwood will have to repeat their upset performances of Saturday to maintain any chances of a lopsided...
Tennis fans have loved every mean minute of it. They forgive his outbursts as part of his almost fanatical passion for winning, a feat that now takes as much heart as art. He has made concessions. He uses a lighter aluminum racket. He cuts the pockets out of his tennis shorts lest they get soggy with sweat and weigh him down. And he has taken to rigorous training, practicing three hours daily and jogging around his eight-acre Pancho Gonzalez Tennis Ranch in Malibu, Calif. As for court tactics, he likens himself to an aging boxer who can no longer...
