He was young, short and fairly handsome except for two scars, one on each side of his face, which looked as if they had been made by a single bullet. Dozens of eyes peering through curtained windows saw the Russian walk unsteadily up the steps and enter Frau Lehrte's house.

Startled televiewers found themselves staring at nothing but the initials CBS, while in the background, Gypsy's voice trilled on, and enthusiastic Air Force veterans shouted the traditional "Take it off!

Playing the role of Bob Chapius in the Crimson single-wing attack this fall will be Jimmy Noonan, Chuck Roche, and Jim Kenary. They shoulder most of the passing burden. Noonan has been particularly impressive in practice drills, and seems to have acquired more finesse than he had last fall. Roche is another much-improved athlete...
