...regular signal-caller. Kelly, at 6' 2", 195, has the best size of any serious contender for the position, can run and pass fairly well, and is probably the most knowledgeable field general. Foster, who split duties with Crone on the freshman team last year, is the flashiest competitor since John McCluskey to challenge for the quarterback slot. The speediest, most elusive runner on the team, he is a superb scrambler and is extremely dangerous when given daylight. But his passing is deficient, and this is a serious problem to bring to a system that will use three receivers...

...times. But he has never played on a championship team. Last week he took out his frustration on the Celtics, and particularly on his longtime nemesis, Boston's 6-ft. 10-in. center and coach, Bill Russell.

Then there is the mako, probably the flashiest fighting fish in the sea. A snaggle-toothed bruiser (record: 1,000 Ibs.) that roams far offshore in both the Atlantic and Pacific, the mako can swim at 40 m.p.h., bite clean through a 500-Ib.-test wire leader, leap 20 ft. out of the water-higher than any marlin.
