Fielding a winning team on two weeks of practice is a tough job for any coach--even if he gets all his stars back. But track coach Bill McCurdy inherits only the bare remnants of the team he piloted to an undefeated outdoor season last year. The graduation of winners such as Ronnie Berman, Ed Grutzner, Dave Cairns, Bill Geick, Charlie Durakis, and Dave Gregory have left the biggest gap in track strength in recent years...

Thus, when New Haven Mayor William C. Celentano was re-elected by a bare two-vote margin over Yale News Director Richard Lee in November, 1951, someone commented: "It proves nothing except there are two more Italians than Yalies in New Haven." Election tension and bitterness between the two camps was a long time in disappearing. Other tensions between the two camps reveal themselves constantly...
