THEME:   none, but a quadruple spanning the center of the grid!
   
GOOD ONES:     
Mil. trial   N TEST [I thought courtmartial]   
One at the end of the line   WIDE RECEIVER [the football line of scrimmage]   
Joggers of a sort   LISTS [jog memory]   
Take the wrong way?   SWIPE   
Net funds   E CASH [not sure I know what that is]   
Hardly big shots   BBs [shots as in bullets]   
   
BTW:   
Old 442 rivals   GTOs [but there were GTO 442's aside from the Olds 442]   
   
Jack letters   MIC [jack as in electrical outlet, not car lifter which I thought]   
   
Time for les vacances   ETE [why is Time not also in French, and why isn't ETE clued as "Gam ending"?]   
   
RATING:   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

Has anyone seen N TEST outside of a crossword?

[magus]

I believe I've seen it in headlines, but I can't say for sure since it has been crossword fodder for eons.

I wonder how many baseball players use this natural testosterone boosting formula. It's called N-Test 600 and is definitely not to be confused with "nuclear tests."
