...recently exhibited at the Columbus (Ohio) Gallery of Fine Arts, Christ is depicted on the Cross with native Peruvian flowers banked at his feet, while the Child Virgin is portrayed holding a distaff, vividly recalling Mama Oclla, the Inca deity who, according to legend, taught the Indians how to spin...
...shot more or less typifies Bing's style. He is not a long-range shooter, lobbing them in from 20 to 25 ft. away. Piston Coach Donnie Butcher says that two or three other Piston players are more accurate shots. What Bing developed at Washington, D.C.'s Spin-garn High School and later at Syracuse, is the whippet-like speed and agility with which he slides past, spins around, or ducks under bigger, clumsier defenders, as he drives in for close-range lay-ups and hooks.

They clutch at shoulder pads and jerseys, trying to spin blockers aside and clear a path to the ballcarrier. They have, in fact, become so adept at slipping blocks that not even the punter, standing 15 yds. back of the line of scrimmage, is safe any more. Kickers who used to count on 1.5 sec. to get the ball away now find...
