Down the sideline he sprinted to the 30, eluding one man and cutting back across the field. He burst between three Brown players and was gone, gaining yardage on his pursuers with every step. Grant turned in the dash in 12 seconds, pretty good time for an 82-yard run with several detours. Maury Dullea's second conversiton made the final score...
Mechling took over at quarterback for the touchdown drive, and turned in its biggest play himself, a seven-yard bootleg for a first down. Dockery scored moments later on a five-yard dash off left tackle...
Paper Army. At one point, Farago declares that Patton's "combination of dash and daring on the one side and enormous professional skill and savvy on the other qualified him even for the Supreme Command, which was eventually denied to him through the failure of his superiors to recognize and appreciate the intrinsic and overwhelming value of such a combination."

"I couldn't go home without a medal," panted Cuba's Enrique Figuerola, who ran the race of his life to finish second behind Bob Hayes in the 100-meter dash. Japan swept three gold medals in Western-style wrestling. Rumania's leggy Iolanda Balas broke her own Olympic high-jumps record by 2½ in., soaring 6 ft. 2¾ in., and Kenya's Wilson Kiprugut won his new country's first Olympic medal when he placed...
