Triple-Threat Attack. If Marinaro were piling up his yardage in the Big Ten, he would be a shoo-in for this year's Heisman Trophy. As it is, the patsy image of the Ivy League makes him at best only a slight favorite to take the trophy. Though no Ivy Leaguer has won the Heisman since Princeton's Dick Kazmaier copped the honor in 1951, Yale's Calvin Hill lent the league some luster when he joined the Dallas Cowboys three years ago and ran off with the N.F.L.'s Rookie of the Year award...

Though recognized as the most accomplished player in the game today, the bandylegged little redhead with the maddening, wristy spinshots is by no means a shoo-in at Wimbledon. Laver not only faces the usual stern competition from fellow Aussies Ken Rosewall and John Newcombe, but he must also contend with such fast-rising young stars as rangy Stan Smith of the U.S. Now 32, the Rocket has only one regret about the increasing number of young players who are able to make a career out of tennis.
