Harvard overpowered Columbia in the first half, taking an early 7-0 lead with less than four minutes gone in the game. After Lou Bernieri recovered a Columbia fumble on the Lions' first play from scrimmage, quarterback Jim Kubacki needed just four plays to produce the Crimson's first touchdown of the season...
Delaware's system is modeled on horse racing's familiar parimutuel pool method. Bettors may buy into two weekly pools, called "Football Bonus" and "Touchdown." The Bonus requires picking winners outright in either seven or 14 N.F.L. games; in Touchdown, fans must hit the point spread correctly as well as predict the outcome of any three, four or five games. It will cost $20 to bet on the Football Bonus and $10 on Touchdown. The payoffs, which will be announced on Tuesdays following the weekend games, will amount to 45% of the total pool. At race tracks...
...priest who was coaching the team shrieked, 'It's a girl!' and ordered me off the field." But she came on strong later as "Swivel Hips Schreiber," star running back on the girls' flag football team at Rice University. Her 50-yard near-touchdown run (she slipped three yards from the goal line) made the front page of the Houston Chronicle. In Montreal last week, Schreiber tested her speed against the former U.S. Olympic gold medalist Wyomia Tyus; after an interview, they were caught in a sudden downpour and had to race for cover...
...centuries, in fiction as well as in fact, men have dreamed about going to Mars and exploring the Red Planet. Last week, on July 20, at 8:12 a.m. (E.D.T.)-seven years to the day after the first men walked on the moon-this dream became a reality. "Touchdown! We have touchdown!" shouted Project Manager James S. Martin Jr. as he watched the consoles at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Only 17 sec. behind schedule, the lander was safely down on Mars' Chryse Planitia (golden plains...
...when the Viking 1 lander responded to a command by separating from the orbiter and beginning its 3-hr. 17-min. descent to the surface. Penetrating the Martian atmosphere, it shed its clamshell-like protective covering, deployed a 53-ft.-diameter parachute to slow its descent, and shortly before touchdown fired its retrorockets to brake its fall further. Engineers at J.P.L. watched nervously as the signals on their consoles marked the completion of each stage of the landing procedure. Because the signals, traveling at the speed of light, took nearly 19 min. to travel from Viking back to earth, scientists...
