I get down low enough to get below his shoulder and try to hit him headon. It's easy enough to get to Brown's belly. Holding on to him is another matter. A fullback like Brown can spin you right over, but I can usually manage to hold on to something...
...some recess of his privacy.

...step on a man in the 100 meters," says U.S. Sprinter Ray Norton, "you can just look over your shoulder at him and let him do his best. He'll never catch you." Last week a Frankfurt sales clerk named Armin Hary, 23, got a step on the world's fastest sprinters, including Norton himself, and ran off with the 100-meters gold medal for one of the biggest upsets of the Olympics...
