...field goal. U.C.L.A.'s Heisman Trophy winner, Gary Beban, was something of a passing disappointment (three for six, two interceptions), but Massachusetts' Greg Landry hit seven out of 14 and scrambled 29 yds. on a bootleg when he found his receivers covered. In the offensive line, Southern Cal's huge tackle Ron Yary earned at least a draw in a head-to-head battle with Green Bay's All-Pro defensive end, Willie Davis.

Eventually, the dam will become a sort of common-market grid for white-dominated southern Africa. Most of the power will travel 800-mile-long lines to Pretoria and feed South Africa's industry, but Mozambique's other neighbors, Rhodesia and probably Malawi, will get their share...
Moving North. Home air conditioning began in hot Southern states, which still lead in sales. Texas ranks first both in the total (1,880,000) and percentage (58.3%) of air-conditioned homes. The trend has gradually worked north; New York ranks second in the number of airconditioned homes. Furthermore, when . it comes to window units, families seldom stop at one.
