...game for sinking an elbow into Stanford Center Doug Pursell. And after Bates had been sent off to the hospital in the U.S.C.-Cal game, Mike McKeever chopped away, twice elbowed Cal Quarterback Pete Olson, was finally thrown out of the game-but only after opening up a six-stitch cut on the inside of Olson's mouth...

The effect of these and other changes was to make the Russian Swan Lake a looser, more romantic interpretation than Western observers are accustomed to seeing.

He armed himself with courses at the Universities of Chicago and Wisconsin, organized Chicago schoolteachers, then gravitated to St. Louis to stitch a handful of loose-knit locals into a Gibbons whole. When this was gathered into the Teamster fold, Hoffa and Gibbons formed an alliance under which Hoffa is the muscleman and Gibbons the strategist. "Gibbons," Jimmy once said in undisguised admiration, "there are some men in Detroit who dislike me-but those fellows back there in St. Louis...
