...across the table from some Spartan friend, trading shin kicks and guzzling highballs to numb the pain-he was busy beefing up the Trib's sports section, with a canny eye for talent. It was Coach Woodward who hired Sports Columnist Red Smith away from the Philadelphia Record in 1945. "I was also an awful popoff," said Woodward...
...National Hockey League cellar, Coach Sid Abel took quick action, socked 14 of his 18 players with $100 fines for what he called the worst Detroit performance in 20 years. ¶ Terry Brennan, rudely fired last December as head football coach at Notre Dame despite a winning career record (32-18), turned his back on a clutch of other college offers, announced at a testimonial dinner in Chicago that he was joining the investment bankers Goldman, Sachs & Co. Brennan, 30, will also run a player-conditioning program during spring training for the Cincinnati Redlegs. ¶ Australia's talented batsmen...
...best seat" is a living room sofa facing a wall equipped with two speakers six to eight feet apart. If listener and speakers are positioned correctly, there seems to issue from the wall a wave of what is known as stereophonic sound. Nothing has so excited listeners and record makers since, more than a decade ago, the long-playing disk ushered in the Age of High Fidelity. Stereophony's extra clarity and depth have not had the immediate impact on the public that high-fidelity sound did, but it is a major and startling improvement in home listening...
...most record buyers were concerned, just a year ago stereo sound was little more than a whisper in a laboratory echo chamber. By the beginning of this year, the stereo disk (usually $1 more than a comparable monophonic) accounted for roughly 10% of total LP sales; by year's end, it may represent a third of the total. But stereo disks are not likely to make the old monophonic disks entirely obsolete, since a well-engineered old-style LP sounds fine when played on stereo. While the sale of monophonic equipment has dwindled to almost nothing, many...
...Equipment. Stereo disks are made by feeding sound through three or more separate microphones, with the signals recorded on three separate channels that are later reduced to two. On the record, a single needle picks up separate impulses from each channel by moving both up and down and sideways in a single groove. The two signals from the needle must be played through two separate amplifiers and speakers. Despite the necessary additional equipment, the cost can be far lower than that of a genuine monophonic hi-fi rig, because stereo achieves impressive reproduction with relatively small speakers and low-wattage...
