Stravinsky's music has, always been as carefully machined as a row of ball bearings, and sometimes no more expressive. But listeners last week found his Orpheus score full of some of the most exciting and dramatic music he has written in the past 30 years. His critics accuse him of writing dry music; he retorts that his favorite composers-the men before Bach -wrote dry music...

Roy Meears relieved in the seventh and pitched shutout ball for two innings. Harvard scored twice in the second to take a one-run lead and again in the fourth after Dartmouth had tallied thrice in its half...
