Peter Tetlow had the unenviable task of trying to wrest some Eastern distance freestyle titles from the clutches of Haydon, but nevertheless became the first Harvard swimmer ever to break the 16-minute barrier in the mile, and 4:40 in the 500. Freshman Ted Fullerton cleaned up in the breastrokes, and Tim Neville used his super psych to blitz the field in the 50 free.

Simpson carried 34 times against the helpless Jets, giving him a season total of 332 carries. Both his total yardage and total carries bettered records by Cleveland's former star fullback, Jim Brown...
...GOLAN HEIGHTS. The barren Golan Heights are useful only as a strategic barrier. Israel might retain a part of this disputed rocky terrain. A U.N. peace-keeping force, with similar guarantees against withdrawal, could keep the armies apart-and protect Israeli settlements from the Syrian guns that periodically fired on them before...
