...Hiri scored with both feet, with lobe and smashes, from close in and from far out, from flat on his back and from the out of bounds line virtually parallel to the front of the goal. A left-footer in the fourth period sprained a game Cornell goalie's left wrist and forced him to retire from the field...
...Octopus. One of his parishioners once said that Dr. Sockman "looks like Adolph Menjou and acts like John Wesley." The urbane six-footer, in his Homburg and pinstripe, and the warmly moving preacher who crowds his church with 1,500 people of a Sunday, are both a far cry from the farm boy in Mount Vernon, Ohio, whose first speaking experience was when he used to bring cows in at night from a dark wood, and "to keep up my courage, I talked out loud to them." That was not necessarily the road to eloquence; some years later he made...
...league baseball scout, the ideal pitching prospect is a sturdy six-footer who can fire fastballs all through the long, hot afternoon. Such a pitcher was Iowa Farm Boy Bob Feller, who came off a sand lot at 17 and struck out 348 batters for the Cleveland Indians in 1946.

Color first and house after, not house first and color after," he said. Last week his most famous student, Edwin Dickinson, recalled: "More than anyone else, Hawthorne appreciated the fact that plane relationships are better expressed through comparative values...
Goldwater has that rarest of political attributes-star quality. A tanned, trim (185 Ibs.) six footer with searching blue eyes behind his dark-rimmed glasses, and a thinning shock of silver hair, Goldwater has more than his share of political sex appeal. "If Nixon had his looks," a lady Republican murmured after a Goldwater performance, "we never would have lost...
