...count on only three sure victories and two of those will be the doing of Captain Wendell Mottley, a Trinidadian who holds the world indoor record in the 440-yard run. The Crimson doesn't have anyone who can stay near him at that distance, so the Elis are shoo-ins in the 440 and the mile relay...

To make matters worse, the Common Market this month imposed an arbitrary surcharge of 2.8? on broilers. All this boosts delivery prices of U.S. chickens by as much...
