...play. In the doubles, Pietrangeli's finesse and Sirola's power combined for a 3-6, 10-8, 6-4, 6-8, 6-4 victory over Buchholz and his boyhood partner from St. Louis, stocky Chuck McKinley, 19. Next day Pietrangeli kept Italy alive by using patty-ball tactics to befuddle the slugging Buchholz, 6-1, 6-2, 6-8, 3-6, 6-4. That put the team score at 2-2 and set up a showdown between MacKay and Sirola, two of the hardest hitters in tennis...
...Coach Al McGuire, 32. Brash as Broadway, New York-born Al McGuire still has a subway tang to his speech as he blows his horn with the stridency of a barker at Coney.

Instead, Green Bay uses rugged, old-fashioned blocking to open holes for rugged, old-fashioned ball carriers. To Vince Lombardi, 47, even the complex game of the pros can be reduced to the simple principle of knocking people down. "To play in this league," he says, "you've got to be tough-physically tough and mentally tough...
Although scoring only four points, last year's freshman captain settled down a team that has been guilty of extremely sloppy ball-handling all year. He kept the offensive pace moving so that Kelley, Gary Borchard, and Denny Lynch could get free for their shots, and threaded the ball through the Tufts press with hardly a mishap in the final ten minutes...
