...Illingworth, a jolly, 60-year-old Welshman with a John Bullish face, who draws for Punch and London's Daily Mail. He meant his Britannia to be looking a little aghast toward America, not Europe. "We're not anti-American in this country, and we understand the breakaway of the American Revolution, but when the kid comes and belts the old girl across the backside it's a bit much," he says. "We are due for a shakeup. It's salutary and good for us. But it's hard too. It's like...

A scrawny 168-pounder who could pass for the water boy, Fortie does not bulldoze through the line; nor can he boast a scatback's breakaway speed. But he has a knack for darting through holes, shifting direction and bouncing off tacklers. He also knows how to make the most of the run-or-pass option play in Coach Mitchell's old-fashioned single wing. "Fortie wouldn't be so hard to stop...
