...wont, though, Restic later softened his view by a trifle. "Princeton is in it as much as we are," he said. That statement might very well prove true--if there's a hurricane or if the Tigers' defense bottles up Jim Kubacki the way Dartmouth's did throughout much of last week's contest...

James ("Big Jim") Thompson managed to slap numerous unsavory politicians of both major parties, cops, sheriffs deputies and state legislators behind bars.

Bostonians, proper or improper, are accustomed to outsize heroes with outsize skills-Ted Williams, Bill Russell, Bobby Orr and, yes, even Jim Plunkett. The quiet, country-bred young man from Ottawa, Kansas (pop. 11,000), resembles none of these demigods; yet he has already begun to exert his own spell on the Hub, its congeries of suburbs and that state of mind known as New England. For beneath his placid exterior, a competitive fire burns. Says Patriot Coach Chuck Fairbanks, who saw it early...
