...offers from some 40 colleges, including Notre Dame and Oklahoma. Says Marlin: "We picked U.S.C. because of its high scholastic rating, and because the team was down and we were offered a real challenge." End Marlin and Guard Mike both made the first string last year as sophomores. Lean-bellied and heavy-thighed, they stand 6 ft. 1 in., weigh 220 lbs., and only their mother can tell them apart for sure...

The Dodgers' slick infield, built around the double-play combination of Shortstop Maury Wills and Second Baseman Charley Neal, both lean and limber as greyhounds, outmatched Chicago's famed duo of Shortstop Luis Aparicio and Second Baseman Nellie Fox (7 double plays...

...temperamental radicals, the College remains largely a hotbed of unconcern. Safely perched in the "middle-of-the-road," many of its "moderate liberals" hold fast to their comfortable philosophy of "don't-give-a-damnism." When sufficiently aroused by a crisis--or even by a simple emergency they lean to the Left and lend their silent aid and comfort to the Respectable Radicals...
