MOBIL'S game sends 36 people at once on a mock-up cross-country race to see who is the best driver. The participant soon finds himself swooping around curves, skidding past a train, then whammo! smack into the truck ahead. The scores? Twenty-three is tops, but one fellow, who can't even drive a hard bargain, rated 19.8 just by sitting there too mixed-up to move...
MOBIL'S ingenious game puts 36 people at once in the driver's seat, sends them on a mock cross-country race to see who is the best driver.

He put those dreams to good use in this merry and murderous mock-suspense story about a professional impresario of escapes at work in the underworld of Dublin, and Paris...
...third-base line." Willie's teammates hardly know what to expect next. In Houston last week, Giant Pitcher Juan Marichal, whose own 6-0 record has helped keep San Francisco in the race for first place since the start of the season, walked up to Willie in mock anger: "You didn't hit any homers the last time I pitched-you owe me two." "Have a heart," chirped Mays. "This is a big ballpark." He then slammed one into the left-field seats in the third inning, put a second in the right-centerfield seats (with...
