Growing Presence. Since early spring, the Russians have switched roles from protector of the Egyptians to participant in the hostilities. The Soviet presence has multiplied from 4,000 military advisers and technicians to 10,000 and is still growing. At least 250 Russian pilots, by Israeli count, are flying MIGs with Egyptian markings, and at least 25 SA3 missile sites are spotted around Cairo, Alexandria and the Aswan High Dam.

...physical guys who can grind you into the ground." McKay led the charge for the nation's No. 1 team, whose backfield averaged 363 yds. rushing per game; the scouts give him high marks for being at once a great blocker on quick openers and a ferocious pass protector. Smith, says one scout, "has everything it takes-he's powerful, has fine footwork, can pick up the loop and requires no additional growth"-and he can cover 40 yds. in an eye-catching...
