Gabriel and the Rams have come a long way since then. This year they were undefeated as they approached midseason; quite possibly, their late-November home-turf confrontation with Dallas' potent Cowboys will be a dress rehearsal for the N.F.L. title game...
...Haven had made Dowling an athletic god and Boston went along. By midseason last fall, it became apparent that Yale would roll to an undefeated season. After Harvard beat Dartmouth, it realistically had only to dump Penn and outlast Princeton to set up a battle that sportswriters had waited almost a century to glorify. Harvard and Yale, both undefeated, headed by the gods, Dowling and Gatto, Yale's unstoppable offense against Harvard's unmovable defense, with the Ivy title at stake, and Dowling's deification on the line...
...doubleheader one day, and Carew responded by whacking a single, five doubles and a grand-slam homer. He soon had a Twins contract in his pocket, was called up to the parent club in 1967 after only three years of minor-league ball. Hitting over .300 by midseason, he was the only rookie picked to start on the American League All-Star team. He wound up the season with a solid .292 average and was a clearcut choice for Rookie-of-the-Year honors...
...really won the 1968-69 season? Michael Dann, CBS senior vice president for programming, feels that he did. With CBS in second place midseason, Dann decided to shift Hawaii Five-0 from its 8 p.m. Thursday time slot (where it started opposite Flying Nun and the second half of Daniel Boone) to 10 p.m. Wednesday (against the less formidable competition of The Outsider and a movie). As a result, Hawaii Five-0 climbed from a 26% share of the audience to 37%. Without that shift, NBC might have finished in first place...
...tough Eastern division. No one is prouder of the new Senators than Williams. "They're picking and packing and booming and banging. They look great." So does Williams. He is making believers out of all the cynics who predicted that he would be back bonefishing by midseason. "I'm not going to quit and neither are my 25 ballplayers," he says. "I forgot how enthusiastic I could get about this game." If the game that was once known as America's national pastime needs anything it is that sort of enthusiasm...
