Opposite Boulris at right half will probably be 170-pound scatback Don Gerety. Early season scrimmages indicated that Bill Crowley, a fast 200-pounder just returned from a tour of duty with the Army, would play in this position, but Crowley has been out of action with a cold for several days, and Yovicsin has put Gerety in the top position...

...above his four-car garage. (Actually, his two Lincolns are kept in another garage.) There stay the Compound's rotating bodyguards, constantly on hand because Beck is obsessed with the notion that an unknown "they" are trying to kidnap Dave Beck Jr., a walloping 35-year-old 210-pounder. "If you were out here alone," Beck tells his guest, "you'd be pinned back up against the wall...
