...nobody is allowed to talk except Coach Rupp. "We have a requirement," he explains, "that you only speak if you can improve on the silence." Every pass, every shot, every move is charted by the Baron and his assistants-so meticulously that after one recent 59-min. 47-sec. practice, he was able to announce that his team had handled the ball 3,308 times, had made precisely five "mistakes...
Last week Killy and Kidd faced each other again, this time in a two-day giant slalom meet at Adelboden, Switzerland. When the Frenchman beat Billy by 1.04 sec. on opening day, sportswriters called his performance "a sovereign victory." Kidd's second-place finish was pretty remarkable too, considering that the shorter special slalom, not the 'giant slalom, is his specialty. Kidd proved next day that he needed no alibis. Crouched low over his skis, he flashed through the 56 gates and zipped across the finish line in 1 min. 49.59 sec. No one came really close -including...
...spot. Now, at Oregon's Far West Classic, the Wolverines lost to Arizona State 89-87-their third straight defeat. No. 8-ranked Providence managed to get through the week unscathed -but not without a scare. The Friars had to score in the last 3 sec. to edge Illinois in the semifinals of Manhattan's Holiday Festival tournament. The final, by comparison, was a breeze: Guard Jim Walker poured in 50 points and Providence beat Boston College...
...Australian, a New Zealander and a Frenchman-and last week France's Michel Jazy found himself confronted with two new challengers who could hardly be more dissimilar. In Wanganui, New Zealand, East Germany's Jurgen May beat Kenya's Kipchoge Keino by a bare .3 sec. in the second fastest mile ever run: 3 min. 53.8 sec., just .2 sec. off the still unrecognized record that Jazy set last June...
...strength for a final kick to the tape. He did precisely the same thing in a rematch last week at Auckland: dogging Keino's footsteps for most of the race, he turned it on in the last 20 yds. to win by 3 ft. in 3 min. 54.1 sec.-tying the listed world record held by New Zealand's own Peter Snell. Twice was too much for Keino. "I am going back to Kenya and learn how to sprint the last lap," he said. "Just wait-I am going to get that record." Snell, who was a spectator...
