...have to worry about a punter for ten years." Indeed not, because Guy can boom the opposition into the hole each time the ball is snapped to him. Guy not only kicks long (his career record for Oakland: 72 yds.), but he can also put the ball down uncannily close to the other team's goal line. He has more "touch" in his leg than most golfers find in a bag full of golf clubs; he can roll a punt like a chip shot or drop it dead like a wedge. His value against Minnesota? Probably as much...

His hands are liberally coated with Hold-Tite, but all the sticky goo in the world will not replace the 30 min. per day he spends tossing a football against a wall and snatching up the unpredictable rebounds.

...cold autumn days grow shorter, Eastern Europe's largest nation (after the Soviet Union) is headed for its most difficult year since 1970. In the late afternoon, outside one of the new Western-style supermarkets in Warsaw, a line of people 20 yds. long extends out the door and into the chilly darkness. It is mostly women, bundled in heavy coats and woolen scarves, their cheeks turned crimson by the subfreezing temperature.
