...strategy worked. Early in the second half, with some elbow room for his long, gangling arms, Big Jim stuffed in five quick baskets, ended the evening with the heavy bag of 30 points, nearly half of S.M.U.'s winning total, 62 to A. & M.'s 53. Four days later, still stuffing baskets, Krebs led S.M.U. to a 79-63 victory over Texas Christian...
Aside from some minor unpleasantness involving Ray Bell, Northeastern defenseman who was penalized three times for slashing and interference, there was little else of interest in the Garden late last night. The Harvard Band, consisting of cymbals, a xylophone, a snare drum, a bass drum, a trumpet, a bag of popcorn and a pint of Ballantine's Scotch, seemed to be in evidence, and number eight of Northeastern, a vigorous little forward, appeared to have a bald head...

In the past ten years, as Crowell-Collier went from a profit of $6,500,000 to heavy losses, managing editors had swept in and out of office like French Premiers. More than $10 million in new capital had been pumped into the company since 1953, when aging Wonder Boy Paul Smith, now 48, came in from the money-losing San Francisco Chronicle as a $40,000-a-year troubleshooter. Smith raised...
