...should be enough to win if he can match it at Mexico City. George Young, a skinny, crew-cut schoolteacher from Arizona, is a solid threat to become the U.S.'s first gold-medal winner in the steeplechase since 1952. Bill Toomey, a 195-lb. muscleman from Santa Barbara, Calif., is the only man in the world who has scored more than 8,200 points in the grueling, ten-event decathlon this year...
...fans talked about Lalich when they left the Stadium Saturday, and they talked about his sidekick, a 260 lb. sophomore from Quincy, a bruising, sure-handed end named Pete Varney. No one will say who suggested switching Varney from halfback to end, but as the head coach must accept all blame so too must he accept the praise. The Lalich-Varney combination makes Yovicsin look very good...
Equalizing the Flow. Unlike previous work with pig organs, Groote Schuur's procedure involved not only the animal's liver but its entire circulatory system, heart and all. And the doctors did not kill the animal first. To prepare the baboon, a robust 57-lb. male, they put it under an anesthetic, then replaced its entire blood supply with human blood of the same type as Mrs. Voogt's. Nearly five hours later, after the animal's heartbeat and circulation had stabilized, the baboon was ready for the hookup with Mrs. Voogt. The surgeons deftly...
...flanks, Varney's move seems so successful that he may end up being a better end than halfback. His counterpart, now that Stargel is out, will probably be Earl Strayhorn, a quick, 6'2",190 lb. junior. Because of a summer knee injury, the plan to move Stargel from halfback to end this season has been shelved. He is trying to strengthen his knee now in the hope that he can get by without an operation, and eventually help out at halfback. Tony Smith, currently out with a bad hamstring pull, John Kiernan, also injured, and Bruce Freeman are sufficiently...
Newest moonface to shine is Bob Murphy, 25, a 5 ft. 10 in., 210-lb. redhead who last week rolled and scrambled to a sudden-death triumph over Oklahoman Labron Harris in the $100,000 Philadelphia Golf Classic. Murph the Girth shot a twelve-under-par 276 for 72 holes, then rammed home a 15-ft. birdie putt on the third play-off hole to gain his first professional victory and the $20,000 winner's check. The previous week he led the $250,000 Westchester Classic after three rounds, only to lose to Boros on the final hole...
