Mowgli in his latest incarnation is a rather engaging and innocent little boy, more like a cub scout than a cub. As al ways, a zooful of imaginative animals prowls off with the picture. A herd of blimpish elephants looks like a collective reincarnation of Dumbo, while Shere Khan, the fastidious tiger with the voice of George Sanders, is a sly, urbane villain. The snake (vocalized by Sterling Holloway) displays the most imaginative use of coils since the invention of the Slinky...

West, say the scouts, has "excellent speed" and "the ability to diagnose an offensive play quickly." He also is "a sticker," pro parlance for a hard, sure tackier-an absolute necessity at safety, where a missed tackle means six points. An elusive punt returner (he has run back three for touchdowns in his college career), Schoen has "a nose for the ball"-a hard nose. "He's a real fighter," says...
