Last year's freshman infield now has a year under its belt and should function even more smoothly as sophomores. Big Mark Bingham hit a solid .383 with 22 rbis while making but one error at first base last year. Rick Pearce (.253 last year) anchors the other side of the diamond, wielding a glove around third base as well as anyone in these parts. Burke St. John hit .323 and was second on the squad in rbis a year ago, and if his fielding improves he could have few peers at shortstop...
Paulovich tucked that experience under his belt when he decided to spend the summer at Marine Platoon Officer Candidates School in beautiful downtown Quantico, Virginia. Too short to be eligible for the Marines, Paulovich says he slept on a board the night before his physical and stood on his tip-toes at the weigh-in. "Sarge" (his nickname from day one of sophomore year when he returned to Cambridge sporting a Frank Freidel crew-cut) finished in the top 5 per cent of his Marine class and plans to take a commission following graduation from Harvard next year...
...recent months. The price of rice has been puffed up by poor crops around the world; a 10-lb. bag that sold for $2.03 wholesale in October now costs more than $3.

Result: prices of lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus and similar produce are certain to move up. Fishermen will raise the price of tuna...
Meanwhile, the coaches who select All-Ivy hockey team have got to be as blind as some of the dates I've been on. While this was definitely not Harvard's year on the ice by any stretch of the garter belt, leaving the names of George Hughes and John Hynes off the All-League roster is like saying the floor at Father's Six isn't sticky on Thursday nights...
...rodeo arena on the back of a bucking bronc, dismounted, jumped up onto a stage full of guitar-picking cowboys and broke into song: "Cowboys arn't easy to love and they're harder to hold. He'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold. Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis and each night begins a new day. If you don't understand him and he don't die young, he'll probably just ride away. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys..." The occasion for the rendition, tongue in cheek...
