When he entered high school, Randall was vaulting around ten feet, but during his sophomore year, he experimented with gymnastics, helping his leaping tremendously. The next year, he catapulted himself over four feet higher to the Massachusetts Schoolboy Championship...
Penguin Books has sold 1.2 million copies of You Can Do the Cube, by Patrick Bossert, a 13-year-old London schoolboy. It has also been translated into half a dozen languages, including Dutch, German, Portuguese and Japanese. Among other tips, Bossert advises that a little Vaseline strategically applied to the inside of a cube will make its parts rotate faster. He can unscramble a lubed cube in 45 seconds. His royalties so far have totaled more than $100,000, but his father plans to salt most of that money away for his son's education and other future...
...numbers have always been kind to Ron Cuccia. From, Wilson High in Los Angeles, where he set eight national schoolboy records and 26 city marks, to the Harvard freshman team (games like an 18-of-24 passing day against Princeton or 77 yards rushing on five carries against Brown) to last year's stint as a wide receiver on the Crimson varsity (his 292 yards in receptions led the squad), Cuccia's contribution was never hard to find on the stat sheets, never hard to put a finger on at season...
...Last Laugh, all of which originally appeared in The New Yorker, represent more of the same. In these last stories Perelman drifts more and more into a cosmic nostalgia which he fails to connect to anything relevant to non-octagenarian readers, Stories like And Then the Whining Schoolboy With His Satchel, in which the 15-year-old Perelmanesque character finds himself accused for plagiarizing Cooper, Kipling, Stevenson. The Riders of the Purple Sage and half a dozen other works in an autobiographical essay for a tenth grade class, makes it pretty far across the historical gulf. The scenario is ticklish...
...Wichita State. The Shockers have two great forwards returning in Cliff Levingston and Antoine Carr. They have added two of last year's most highly recruited schoolboy prospects in 7-ft. 1-in, center Greg Dreiling and 6-ft. 4-in. back-court man Aubrey Sherrod. But none of this will matter because coach Gene Smithson and his team will be on probation and ineligible for post-season play by the time the NCAA tournament rolls around anyway...
