...civil-defense center in Colorado Springs gives the signal. The present Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization warning program comes nowhere near meeting this "minimum requirement." Many people in U.S. cities do not even hear civil-defense sirens, and very few pay any attention to them.

If the players are really ready for battle, they leave some steak on their plates the morning of a game. Says Coach Ben Schwartzwalder: "My dog can get a good hoggin' on gameday leftovers...
