...made a temporary opening into Phillip's stomach so he could be fed, and another opening in the lower bowel for evacuation. But the sickly infant, in constant danger of death from pneumonia or choking in his own saliva, was still an insupportable burden to his father (a low-paid oilfield worker) and his mother who had four other youngsters to care...
...Bears, have football fans seen such a numbing fullback as the Cleveland Browns' young (23) Jimmy Brown. Magnificently muscled (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.), Brown has a sprinter's speed, strength enough to carry along a brace of tacklers. When he hits defensive backs with a low shoulder, he can send them cartwheeling. Last year Brown smashed 1,527 yds. in twelve games to shatter the league ground-gaining record by a fabulous 381 yds. And even the lowly Los Angeles Rams, at the bottom of the Western Conference, can offer Halfback Ollie Matson, 29, whose stride...
...this season because its faltering defense failed to back up the N.F.L.'s most formidable tackle: Gene ("Big Daddy") Lipscomb (6 ft. 6 in., 288 Ibs.), who riffles with heavy hands through enemy backs ("I keep the one with the ball"). Last week, once again tackling hard and low, the Colts hit the San Francisco Forty-Niners so hard that they allowed only three first downs, put balding Quarterback Y. A. (for Yelberton Abraham) Tittle in the hospital with a possible fractured knee. Final score: Baltimore 45, San Francisco 14. The victory moved the Colts into a first-place...
Mezzanine Jungle. Best of all pro defenses is the New York Giants', and Linebacker Huff is the acknowledged best in football. Last year Huff's defensive team gave up the league low of 3.6 yds. per opponent carry, hoisted the team into the championship playoffs, where it finally lost, 23-17, to the Baltimore Colts in an overtime period. This year the Giant tacklers are tougher than ever, have yielded a grudging 3.0 yds. per rush (league average: 4.1 yds.), given up only eight touchdowns in the past seven games (longest scoring run allowed...
Profits for Peking. Paid to study for five years, a student need never leave the premises. He gets a private room at low rental; no Moscow hotel serves better food than his cut-rate cafeteria. He can warm his mind in the 1,200,000-book library, cool off in the massive swimming pool. His labyrinthine alma mater is a self-contained city, with 133 elevators and miles of columned marble corridors; its 45,000 rooms include 168 lecture halls and 1,700 first-rate laboratories. Geography students alone have 20 labs, featuring such (militarily) educational gadgets as special projectors...
