From end to end, the starting line averages 239 lbs. per man. The fullback runs the 100 in 10 sec. flat, and he is only the third fastest man on the team. The four backs, between them, have accounted for 25 touchdowns. It is the best college football team in the U.S.-but it exists only on paper. All season long, perched in some remote corner of the stadium, immune to the blare of the band and the frenzy of the fans, the professional football scout sits with notebook and binoculars, looking for tomorrow's men among today...
...Every fall, there is one nonsensical day when the football gets even with the boys who kick it around. "Upset Saturday," it is called, and last week was it. At Madison, Wis., Ohio State punched across a touchdown with 2 min. 13 sec. to go and edged No. 2-ranked Wisconsin, 13-10. At Evanston, Ill., 150-Ib.

North Carolina State beat Duke for the first time since 1946, 21-7, and Stanford clobbered Notre...

With the ball on the Navy 46 and 13 sec. left in the half, Roger hollered over to Coach Wayne Hardin: "O.K. to go?" Hardin nodded. Roger scampered around, giving his receivers time to get downfield, then he sailed the ball 34 yds. zip through a Michigan defender's arms and straight into the hands of Halfback John...
...quarreled with Bobby Kennedy about the Justice Department's attempts to block bank mergers, with the Federal Reserve Board about whether banks should be allowed to underwrite state and municipal revenue bonds, and with the Securities and Exchange Commission over whether bank stocks should be regulated by the SEC. Last spring, after Saxon asked regional banking supervisors to drum up support for him among the national bankers, he came within a digit of being sacked by President Kennedy...
