...farmer, he came to the U.S. to study track and field five years ago, learned so fast that he ranks as one of the world's best all-round athletes. A decathlon star, he won a silver medal at the 1960 Olympics.

A girl's chances of making these pro-like squads are slim, but if one should, we might witness some interesting new approaches. Girls could be used as decoys with devastating effectiveness. The option play and the belly series might take on completely different meanings., and uniforms would have to be re-designed. The range of possibilities stuns the imagination...

Radcliffe contains numerous athletic enthusiasts. Some girls, it is true, restrict their activities to pasting football programs all over their walls, but others are eager participants. Co-ed volleyball is gaining in popularity, and this year the 'Cliffe produced a hockey team. Its record against even such mediocre competition as the Lampoon was dismal, but we suspect that...
