EXCERPTED FROM SI November 6, 1972

IF THERE is anyone who does not know how to have a good time, it is not George Allen's fault. On the plane home from away games, the players sing. They call Allen "Ice Cream," and the words to one of their favorite numbers are "Hooray for Ice Cream, Hooray at last, Hooray for Ice Cream, He's a horse's ass." Allen just smiles benignly upon the choral group. --Roy Blount
