Personal Call. Unsurprisingly, the Nelson phone rings for more than advice: many schools, including Pitt, Indiana and Baylor, have tried to draw him into major-college coaching. Michigan-born Dave Nelson learned his football with Fritz Crisler's University of Michigan powerhouses (one teammate: Forest Evashevski), but no one has been able to shake him loose from Delaware. "I like the small-college atmosphere," he says. "It's a good place to raise a family...
...behind to tie the Crimson, 21 to 21, late in the fourth quarter. The varsity's three scores all came in dramatic fashion--a fourth down, finger-tip catch of a pass by end, Paul Crowlcy, an 84-yard run by halfback John Ederer, and a pass interception by Fritz Drill...
Senile Ghost. Alfred's son Fritz was a pudgy, gourmandizing sybarite, who fattened Kruppdom by gobbling up coal and iron mines and the shipyards at Kiel.

He envies Dion's personality, craves Dion's wife...
ALMOST a century ago a Belgian knight named Fritz Mayer van den Bergh began collecting art objects. He concentrated on Northern Renaissance examples, amassed some 1,000 pieces of high quality before his death in 1901. To hold the collection as a memorial, his mother founded the Mayer van den Bergh Museum. Tucked away in Antwerp's banking district and unchanged in 55 years, the museum is open every day except Monday in the summertime, and on even-numbered days all winter, charges only 5 francs (10?) admission. Yet the number of visitors annually is under...
