...bold, dynamic prototype offensive set is being toyed with by Musick. During isolated play drills, spies report seeing at times two men, besides junior quarterback Mark Allen, line up in the backfield. They then appear to take turns carrying the ball. Amazing if true but possibly a vicious rumor. Colgate has been slugged by Penn but last week crushed Lafayette. Normally I would tab Cornell but the Big Red is very green, so it looks like a toss-up. Call it Red over Rams...
...reporters, barred from the climactic scene, hesitated when word of the captives' safe release first came from the Bavarian state police, who were responsible for security at the airport in Fürstenfeldbruck. A few journalists were apparently misled when a local pub owner, Ludwig Pollack, passed a rumor near the airport gate that the terrorists had been seized; from this it was inferred that the hostages were safe. But it was only after receiving confirmation from Conrad Ahlers, official spokesman for the West German government, that many reporters sent firm-and wrong -stories out to the world...
Patterson covered China in the 1930s. Last spring, from Hong Kong, he ostensibly entered the People's Republic and produced a five-part series that the paper front-paged. But did Patterson actually visit China this year? Paul Avery, a reporter at the rival Chronicle, heard a rumor to the contrary.

Checking with several sources, Avery could find no record of Patterson's entry into China. Word of Avery's digging got back to Examiner Editor...
...again and again. Hopes that he might got a ticklish boost from reports that one of the Governor's toes had wiggled in an involuntary reflex reaction when his son George touched it. Doctors said it was nothing to get excited about. They did not mention another hopeful rumor. The way the story went, Wallace had unexpectedly moaned when a nurse stuck a hypodermic needle in his buttock. Excitedly she told doctors that the semiparalyzed patient had sensation below his waist. Doctors attached little significance to such reflex-like responses, and image-conscious Wallaceites chose to tell only...
...packed solid, the tickets all sold weeks in advance; in San Francisco, the barter price for a $5.00 ticket was an ounce of grass and seven grams of hash, or, from scalpers, $50 cash; by Chicago, the price for a $6.50 ticket had risen to $70-accompanied by the rumor that someone had printed and sold a quarter of a million dollars' worth of fake tickets, which, mercifully, did not turn up at the gate; and in New York, it may well be around $100. The chance of getting a ticket over the counter has irrevocably gone. To frustrate...
