A little commitment was all Muncie needed to take advantage of superb natural gifts: the strength to bench-press 275 Ibs., the speed to run the 100 in 9.7 sec., and the coordination and leg power to high-jump...
WIDE RECEIVERS. Larry Dorsey, Tennessee State, 6 ft. 1 in., 187 lbs.; and Tinker Owens, Oklahoma, 5 ft. 11 in., 180 lbs. Dorsey, with 4.5-sec. speed in the 40-yd. dash, has impressed the scouts by catching 47 passes this season despite frequent triple coverage.

During Senate hearings to consider the appointment of Hills as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Proxmire recalled that once while jogging to Capitol Hill he had encountered a former SEC chairman riding to work in a limousine. Would Hills require a limousine? "I shall not," he replied, but added, "nor shall I jog." Hills told the Senators he would share his wife's limousine or take the family car-which Proxmire approvingly noted would save the taxpayers...
