...predicated on the survival quotient of quarterbacks. As of last week, no fewer than 16 signal callers in the two leagues have been sidelined with injuries for one or more games. Many of the injuries, like Starr's, could hardly have been prevented. Pete Beathard of the Houston Oilers (record: 3-5-0) was rushed to the hospital last month for an emergency appendectomy, while winless Philadelphia's Norm Snead, trying to make a tackle after an interception, turned sharply and broke his ankle in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions.

That condition has long prevailed in New York City, whose prosaic brick or concrete residential towers command attention mostly by sheer size. The current behemoth is Co-Op City, a 15,400-apartment complex now rising on the site of a former swamp...
...Crimson's top team of Joel Perwin '70 and Richard Lewis '72 won a 4-1 decision over Houston in the finals at M.I.T. The Houston team had edged out Harvard's second team of Robert Daniels '69 and Patrick Gutridge '72 in a semi-final round...
