...season, look for Harvard to spread the field with lots of multiple-receiver and one-back sets. The Crimson will try to find match-ups downfield with its wideouts matched up against safeties or linebackers. Additionally, a spread defense will make it easier for Harvard to gain yards on the ground...
...City"--a work of pure television genius. The show exposes the lives of four swanky Manhattan women, complete with their thoughts about and justifications for their risqu escapades. Just as important, the show sells itself on sex. Advertisements feature the main character posing, legs spread, above the Empire State Building.

America's marvelous performance was spread across its entire team: 39 out of 48 swimmers won medals. The U.S. won four of the six relays, including all three for women.

...friends flew to Las Vegas on March 1 and bet $20,150 with the sports book at Caesars Palace that Northwestern would lose that night by at least 251/2 points. When Pendergast phoned Lee in Ann Arbor and conveyed that number, Lee was reluctant to go ahead because "the spread was too high." But Pendergast, according to court papers, was insistent, and to sweeten the deal offered to double Lee's take to $8,000. Only then did Lee agree...
