From the air, reported TIME'S Houston Bureau Chief Ben Gate, the region was a churning, chocolate sea of muck that overwhelmed scores of communities in its path and obliterated every landmark within hundreds of square miles. Around the clock, Army and Coast Guard helicopters plucked wretched, barefoot refugees from the water, leaving their homes and possessions to the floods and their livestock to hovering buzzards. Evacuees far exceeded 100,000 by week's end, and estimates of the homeless went as high as 1,000,000. The full death toll will not be known until the flood...
...first quarter. Starting quarterback Gerry Facciani moved his team nowhere on his first two tries, so Lafayette coach Harry Gamble called on Ed Baker, his sophomore passer. Two passes into Cobb's zone and two draw plays picked up 36 yards.

His favorite move is knocking down men downfield who are far away from the action. It shakes them up. His partner, senior tackle Chris Burns, was the swing man at that spot last year. He filled in for Steve Diamond when the big tackle was injured for a time, chalking up 90 minutes and earning a letter...
