Nothing looks beautiful at birth. Camp's pass to Thompson was airborne for maybe all of 5 or 6 yds. It was thrown underhand and wobbled precariously end over end-because the overhand spiral was the result of still another accident, which did not occur for 30 more years. Nobody knows for sure who happened onto it first. All at once, half a dozen players started throwing corkscrews, grasping the ball by its laces and rifling it through the air.

Barry Williams and Keith Sedlacek hit foul shots. John scott bucketed a dazzling underhand drive, and Sedlacek added a pair of free throws which brought Harvard's lead to a comfortable eight points...

Not all of the espionage work is underhand, of course: many companies regularly instruct salesmen and other fieldworkers to report back any news and gossip, also sift trade journals, advertisements and Government reports for additional wisps of information...

And when he couldn't pass, he ran like a halfback?ripping out of the grasp of three tacklers for 21 yds. and a touchdown that made it 28-7. After that, the spectators stole the show. Twice, play was stopped while the sheriff's deputies...
