...college that has grown from vacant lot to excellence in just six years last week won full accreditation.

...although the Gators lost 21-16. To top it all off, he also handles the kicking chores for the Gators: he has averaged 40.8 yds. per punt, booted three field goals -including a last-minute 40-yarder against Auburn that won the game 30-27.

Other pro teams may have to settle for the likes of Tennessee Quarterback Dewey Warren, who last week completed...

In Canton, Ohio, a Roman Catholic priest is chairman of the local branch, and in Louisville, Ky., Fish is jointly sponsored by an Episcopal and a Presbyterian church. Purely secular organizations have been happy to contribute too: in Louisville, a local taxi company offers free transportation to Fish's emergency cases...
