...eventually, looking at waves breaking on beaches, whether they are Senegalese or Tahitian, becomes tiresome. Like most amateur filmmakers, Brown doesn't know where to end The Endless Summer; he has to show just one more well-known surfing haunt and one more surfer bleeding from an ugly gash on the forehead. The ingenuous quips and noises eventually come to seem plainly adolescent...
...awkwardly about the outdoor ring, Clay concentrated his attack on Henry's left eyebrow. By the end of the fifth, Cooper's forehead was pink and swollen, and in the sixth it turned bright crimson. Lashing out with a classic one-two combination, Cassius opened up a gash so bloody one awed onlooker insisted that Cooper must be a bar-sinister Alfonso. The referee stopped the fight at 1 min. 38 sec. of the sixth round, and no more than a minute later Champion Clay was already announcing his next fight.

...Money. Lewis, alas, was unable to compete in the 172-mile race himself because he had four broken ribs, three cracked ribs and a gash on his skull-mementos of the Houston Channel Derby two weeks before.

He already had spent 49 min. in the penalty box, and the Chicago Black Hawks, who have never won an N.H.L. championship, were leading the league by 1½ games over Montreal. "Something was bound to blow," exulted Coach Reay. "Bobby had to do something to protect himself...
...that was curiously described by sportswriters as "savage," "snapping," "a bullwhip" and "the finest jab any heavyweight has shown since Joe Louis." Curiously, because Chuvalo didn't even blink. The best blow of the night was a butt by the Canadian that opened up a one-inch gash over Terrell's left eye. "He butted me deliberately," Terrell complained afterward. "He stepped on my toes. He was spitting in my face, trying to blind me." Nonetheless Ernie won a unanimous decision and retained his W.B.A. title. For whatever that was worth...
