...senior at McClymonds High School in Oakland, Calif. Hines tied Jesse Owens' 31-year-old schoolboy mark of 9.4 sec. for 100 yds. That earned him a $1,200-a-year scholarship to Texas Southern. But when Hines first turned out for track at T.S.U., Coach Stan Wright was appalled: "Jim's starts were awful. He didn't concentrate...
Performer & Critic. Carson's bag is unpredictability, not only in his offhand humor but in his visual performance. He is General Eclectic himself, a master of a thousand takes. He's got a Jack Paar smile, a Jack Benny stare, a Stan Laurel fluster. If a joke dies, he waits a second, and then yawns a fine Ed Sullivan "Ho-o-okay. . ."

...Down Their Throats." They should have remembered that long green is the color for Leafs. In the semifinals against the Black Hawks, the old pros put together a fierce, brutally checking defense that smothered the scoring rushes of Chicago's super stars Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull.

Besides newspaper layouts, Freberg's program includes patter from stewardesses (on landing: "We made it! How about that?"). It also features hot-pink lunch pails which are distributed to passengers and contain such items as a handkerchief-size child's security blanket, which the stewardess demonstrates by rubbing it against her cheek. Freberg plans to paint...
...startling was the comeback staged by Roger Maris. The New York Yankees had given up on Maris after two injury-plagued seasons in which he batted .239 and .233-and Maris had almost given up on himself. Traded to the Cards during the winter, he debated retiring. General Manager Stan Musial, whose own lifetime batting average of .331 qualifies him as a fair judge of hitting talent, finally persuaded Roger to sign (for $75,000)-and neither has any cause for regret. Against the San Francisco Giants last week, Maris collected two hits and scored the winning...
