...Philadelphian has an impressive receiver corps to work with. Tight end Lal Heneghan has 17 catches and fullback Chuck Nolan 10. Senior split end Karl Hall specializes in the bomb. He has only nine receptions this fall, but he scored touchdowns on four of them and averages 27.2 yards per catch. McGeehan's favorite target, however, may not play: wide receiver Rich Syrek suffered a knee injury two weeks ago, missed last Saturday's game and is questionable for today...

Even so, as she sees it, he showed a streak of heroism, not in his work so much as in "the long blank years that prove the spirit." That kind...
Despite all this camraderie, Crimson rugby isn't taken lightly. Competition for some spots is so tight that as many as "eight gifted players" might be trying for one spot, says Kingston. And a host of players--Kevin Lennon, Hassan Rifast, Gus Spanos, John Beilenson, John Kennedy and Mark Bumford--are considered likely prospects to be named to the New England Select Team...
