...Doan Kim Long, 27, and his battalion to mount a classical infantry charge. Long, who wears French wrap-around sunglasses, a lavender scarf and a khaki beret, deployed his men in a shallow V with himself at the point. With the battalion bugle blaring, the Vietnamese raced across 75 yds. of open ground, straight through their pinned-down comrades, hurling grenades into the Viet Cong bunkers and gunning down the Reds when they tried to escape. Long's men lost only three killed and 27 wounded in the charge, but before the day was out the South Vietnamese...
Pebble & Cypress. In five years of trying, Jack had never won the Crosby. When he stepped up to the first tee last week, he had not swung a golf club professionally for a month. So on the first tee at Pebble Beach he belted an iron shot 220 yds. straight down the center of the fairway. He hit every green in regulation figures (one stroke for parthrees, two for par-fours, three for parfives), fired a three-under-par 69 that he called "one of the best rounds I have ever shot in this tournament...
...notions about what makes a good golf course -and few of them apparently agree with famed Architect Robert Trent Jones, who designed Spyglass Hill, the third course on which last week's Crosby was played. There were all sorts of complaints: Spyglass was "too long" (at 6,972 yds.); its greens were "too slick"; its fairways were "too heavy." For Jack, it was too frustrating. He might be able to reach Spyglass's par-five greens in two booming shots, but that involved a certain risk: all but one of the greens was protected by a tiny pond...
...action" passes that looked at first glance like handoffs into the line. Green Bay scored two touchdowns, but one of them was a fluke-a twice-deflected pass that Packer Flanker Max McGee somehow managed to catch one-handed, behind his back. The Chiefs outgained the Packers by 181 yds. to 164 yds., out-first-downed them by 11-9. Twice they tackled Green Bay Quarterback Bart Starr for losses when he faded back to pass. They scored a touchdown and a field goal of their own. And at half time they trooped off the field trailing by only four...
...America's Cup races off Rhode Island. In the meantime, Hood is concentrating on more current projects-like trying to figure out why Dame Pattie's mast keeps snapping off. In a race against Gretel two weeks ago, Dame Pattie was leading by 5 min., only 250 yds. from the finish line, when her mast collapsed. Maybe she is just too fast for her own good...
