...boat cruised east along Malecon Drive, at times no more than 30 yds. from the sea wall, shot up the Havana Riviera hotel-a favorite of Iron Curtain visitors-and left flames licking from third-floor windows. Farther east along the shore, a second raiding group blasted away at a police station, then at a group of soldiers, who scrambled for cover. To the west, the other boat raked the seaside home of Castro's Puppet President Osvaldo Dorticós Torrado, drawing erratic rifle fire from nearby guards. By the time the attackers turned for home, the confusion...
...into the line, big (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.) Jim Brown is without argument the greatest runner in professional football. In 1957, the first year he joined Cleveland as an All-America from Syracuse University and the Browns' No. 1 draft choice, he gained an incredible 942 yds. on the ground. He has not done that poorly since. Only eleven men in the N.F.L.'s 45-year history have gained 1,000 yds. or more in a single season -an accomplishment roughly equivalent to batting .400 in baseball or scoring 50 goals in hockey. Brown has done...

But last week the No. 3-ranked Cornhuskers ran into a hornet's nest at Stillwater, Okla., and almost got stung. Trailing 17-14 in the last quarter, they marched 74 yds. in 15 plays to take the lead, 21-17, with only 38 sec. left. But Oklahoma State wasn't quite through yet. It took a desperate tackle on the 5-yd. line to make that score final and sew up the Big Eight championship for the unbeaten Cornhuskers, along...
...team last spring were non-Nebras-kans. The Huskers do have Nebraskan Bob Churchich playing quarterback, but he has to alternate with Chicago's Fred Duda. Another Chicagoan, 240-lb. Tackle Walt Barnes, is the bulwark of a defense that so far has limited its opponents to 195 yds. per game. Cleveland's Frank Solich may be the smallest fullback (at 5 ft. 8 in. and 158 Ibs.) in major-college football, but he has gained an average of 5.5 yds. per carry. Split End Freeman White, a 6-ft. 5-in. 220-pounder and All-Big Eight...
