Mississippi's Vaught bided his time. Then on Friday he played his big card. He invited Perry Lee to Mississippi's campus at Oxford. Vaught had long since learned that Perry Lee liked shooting almost as much as football, cagily detailed a trio of first-string linemen to take him duck hunting...
...Niners game on CBS to NBC, where undefeated Syracuse, intent on disproving the taunt that it had played only so-so opposition, was busy wrecking a U.C.L.A. team that had upended high ranking Southern California two weeks earlier. The game was never even close. Syracuse's "Sizable Seven" linemen (average weight: 216 lbs.) scornfully brushed aside U.C.L.A.'s specially designed trap plays, held U.C.L.A.'s offense to a humiliating minus 13 yds. on the ground. Led by German-born Team Captain Gerhard Schwedes, a slashing right halfback, Syracuse rolled up touchdowns with offhand ease. Score: Syracuse...
Behind Landry's complex system of blitzing linebackers and slanting linemen is a single master principle: funnel the play to the inside so that Sam Huff can make the tackle. Says the Los Angeles Rams' Line Coach Don Paul: "We hold a special meeting to plan how we're going to get Sam Huff."

Earlier, Quarterback Mayo had been knocked limp by Army linemen, as he desperately retrieved a high center pass and tried to kick on the run. But Mayo got up off the ground, and in the second half, he pulled up the Air Force with him. A daring fourth-down pass put the Air Force on the Army 15. Two plays later, he so artfully faked a hand-off up the middle that the converging Army defense never...
...their data, the researchers combed the medical histories of 96 New York Telephone Co. switchboard operators and 116 craftsmen (linemen and installation workers) for 20 years back, then followed the cases for five years more. In that quarter-century, the women averaged 64 illnesses, with 313 days lost from work, v. the men's 37 illnesses and 124 days lost. Menstrual disturbances could not explain this huge difference; they accounted for less than one-fourteenth of female illness. In fact, the same types of illness-respiratory infections, stomach upsets, muscle pains and skin conditions -explained most of the absenteeism...
