...season. Quarterback Mickey Beard completed eight of 15 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns, although he sat out virtually the entire second half. And next to teammate Paul Klungness, who was supposed to be a doubtful starter because of a shoulder dislocation, Beard was the game's leading ground gainer with 67 yards...

Using a $22 million bond issue raised in its own name, Northeast is also acquiring seven Fairchild 227s to replace the creaky DC-3s on short flights. Most important of all, Storer lured away American Airlines' Operations Vice President Forwood C. (and inevitably...
