...cannot hope to lead the League in defense as it did last year. In three consecutive games last year (against Columbia, Dartmouth, and Penn), the Crimson scored only one touchdown--and won. Harvard scored three touchdowns in only one game, and two in only three games. Glenn Haughie and Jim Nelson are gone at the corner linebacker positions, and big Bob Pillsbury and the other staunch linemen have graduated. Offense, not defense, will have to lead the Crimson to victory. The line will certainly be creditable, but a quarterback must move the ball with a backfield behind him. These things...
Like many another Southern city, Dallas accepted schoolrooms as the place for its first test of integration; as a result, about six first grades will desegregate under court order when classes start in September. But unlike other cities where Jim Crow is dying, Dallas has had second thoughts about turning the thorny race problem over entirely to its children. Last week the Citizens' Council, a businessmen's group originally organized to promote Dallas, took a bold step. Said the council: "This should be an adult experience before it is a child experience. If adults couldn't handle...
...Hollywood machine in a rare moment of felicitous clank, turning out the slick, quick, funny film for which it was designed. Among the astonishingly lifelike moving parts are: Steve McQueen, a sailor (sailors are dependably hilarious); Jack Mullaney, a sailor and a Southerner (Southerners used to be hilarious); and Jim Hutton. a missile scientist (scientists never were very funny, but Hutton is also a man in love, and thus hilarious). The three of them decide to become wealthy at a Venice casino, using as their good-luck talisman a ship-based, missile-tracking electronic computer named...
...balling Rookie Ken Hunt, tamed of his wildness, posted a 9-4 record. To steady his young pitchers, Hutchinson relied on 31-year-old Bob Purkey, whose assortment of knucklers and sinkers earned him an 11-4 record. In the bullpen, he called on Bill Henry and bespectacled Writer Jim (The Long Season) Brosnan, who also uses brains on the mound, to save a total of 19 games...
Maris, with four round-trippers in six days, was only one of a crowd: St. Louis Cardinal First Baseman Bill White, Boston Red Sox Catcher Jim Pagliaroni, New York Yankee Catcher Elston Howard also belted four apiece. Slender Milwaukee Rightfielder Hank Aaron topped them all with five in six days. Baltimore Oriole First Sacker Jim Gentile poked only two, but both came with the bases full; with the season only half gone, Gentile thus tied the American League record of four grand slams in a full season, one away from the major league mark of five set by Chicago...
