...better shooters on the squad is Greg Loser, a 5 ft. 11 in. back-courtman from Belmont, Mass. Loser, a probable starter at guard, has a variety of shots from the outside including a patented, springing, jump-shot. Perhaps the best marksman on the squad is 6 ft. 2 in. Bill Richling, from St. Albans, N.Y. Richling, who will start at one of the guards, is a co-alumnus of Andrew Jackson High along with the Celtics' Bob Cousy. The slender Richling jump-shoots, scores on driving layups and rebounds well from his backcourt position...
...down and waited for Daniels Sr. They waited for two hours. But when he finally lurched down the street, mounted the steps of his house and sat down, another one of his sons was sitting there. Marty Daniels, afraid he might hit his brother, passed the rifle to Marksman Ray. "Here," he said, "you do the shooting. You're a better shot than I am." Marty's dad was sitting with his knees up to his chest, and Ray allowed that from that distance (60 ft.), he could hit Daniels any place he wanted. Marty told...

Dapper Torrio, a topnotch organizer, executive and marksman (tagged by colleagues as "Terrible Johnny" long before police got anything on him), joined Big Jim Colosimo in Chicago as chief triggerman in 1910, gathered the reins of vice (bribery, brothels, bootleggers) into his own hands when Colosimo was rubbed out (in 1920, perhaps by Torrio), escaped erasure (but lost part...
...llah Sultan Abdullah, soon to celebrate his 25th year as ruler of the largest state in Malaya, is a man as huge (6 ft. i in., 200-plus Ibs.) as his name, and as perenially active as the tongue that tries to pronounce it. An inveterate and skillful marksman, golfer, tennis and polo player, he is easily the most tireless partygoer in all Pahang; in 1956, accompanied by a troupe of shapely dancing girls, he literally danced the Communist menace out of his corner of the Malayan jungle by throwing one rousing village party after another for villagers throughout...
...Montana, where big game roams a rugged land of granite and jack pine, two hunters tracked a trail of blood. For five hours Viv Squires and Ken Scott moved cautiously through the brush, trailing the huge brown grizzly bear they had wounded that morning. Viv Squires, 45, was no marksman, had not hunted for ten years; he carried a .30-30 Winchester carbine-a deer rifle and hardly better than a peashooter, he kept thinking, against the 8-ft., 700-lb. grizzly. But 29-year-old Ken Scott, lean, muscular and a good shot, felt confident. He carried a more...
