Andy McNerney, another excellent sophomore wrestler, continued the string of victories with a 10-5 decision over Ken Lynch. Demonstrating the unorthodox--but effective--technique that seems to baffle his opponents, McNerney thundered back from a 4-3 deficit to scrap for the convincing triumph. As many opponents have discovered this year, he proved just how difficult he is to control, scoring three escapes as Lynch seemed to tire...
Stockman, a bachelor, pursues his 14-hour-a-day schedule, which includes lobbying Congressmen and haggling with Cabinet officers, with a special sense of urgency.

Fadden has been around so long that some of his more unorthodox training procedures seem almost ordinary by now. His aversion to whirlpools is well known, if not widely shared, among Dillon regulars. "These guys who take two showers a day or use the (whirlpool) bath, they're losing all the oils in their skin. They'll get all itchy for sure. Me, I take one bath a week." And then he laughs...
