...songs of Cole Porter, George Gershwin or Jerome Kern are all very well. But what man does not believe in his heart that the songs he makes up and sings to himself are best of all? Most men do just that: make them up and sing them to themselves. Not Bob Friedman of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Bob is passionate enough about his ditties to dream of taking over a commercial recording studio, bringing in top name musicians, and cutting an LP to give to 1,000 or so of his best friends and relatives.

...picked up in Bakersfield for a service station robbery that had netted $105. There is a disparity between the superficials of this case and what Jackson claimed was the complete situation. In Soledad Brother, he said that he and two black friends found themselves locked up in Kern County Jail on suspicion of a number of thefts. "Since the opposition cleans up the books when they find the right type of victim, they accused us of a number of robberies we knew nothing about.

Nothing but Win. Ordinarily two stars of such magnitude would have the race pretty much to themselves. Not this season. In the year of the college quarterback, there are two other exceptionally talented youngsters with all the credentials. At Ohio State, they shout hosannas for Rex Kern, a 6-ft., 184-lb. hardcase who seems to be happiest when he is busting heads with linebackers on a keeper play. He passes very little and runs a lot; last season he was the team's second leading ground-gainer with 583 yds. and nine touchdowns. In six games this season...
