...against a rock 'n' roll star, but from the tops of their ducktail haircuts to the tips of their white buck loafers, these two look worse than any pair since the Everly Brothers. Bobby -- the little blond one who does that fantastic third "baby" in "Lovin' Feeling" -- kept calling tall dark Bill "eel" and "snake." The names are apt, but his voice gives you a few minutes when -- if you close your eyes or otherwise block out his perpetual smirk -- all can be forgiven.

Fortunately for the Philippines, a hero arrived in the form of Ramon Magsaysay, a tall (5 ft. 11 in.), tough blacksmith's son from Zambales province, who took over as Defense Secretary in 1950.

Beating Williams on its home field is a tall order, and it isn't, a loss to the Ephmen that makes the situation critical. Williams, just like Amherst, considers a win over bigger Harvard a major feather in its cap; whereas the Crimson players, no matter how desirous of proving themselves they may be, cannot look on this as a "big game," with the Ivy opener two days...
