...Golden Knights of Clarkson bring two big lines, four bigger defensemen, and an adequate goalie against the Crimson in tonight's semifinal E.C.A.C. contest at the Boston arena. With the Eastern hockey crown at stake, the Crimson will need stellar play from all concerned to top the slightly-favored skaters from Potsdam, New York...
...parlance, Dick Barnett is a "gunner"-a player whose natural inclination is to let fly whenever he gets his hands on the ball. He cannot battle like Baylor under the backboards, or bulldoze past bigger players for driving lay-ups like West. But he possesses one of the deadliest outside shots in basketball-a delicate, left-handed jump shot that is accurate from anywhere within 25 ft. of the rim. Barnett's preliminary motion looks awkward: he lurches jerkily into the air and kicks both feet backward. But then he flips the ball toward the basket so lightly that...
...architect who had built an entire city in India, the site of the proposed building at Harvard University must have looked no bigger than a 50-franc note. The new Visual Arts Center that Harvard wanted France's irascible Le Corbusier to build was to stand between the neo-Georgian Faculty Club on busy Quincy Street and the more heavy-handed neo-Georgian Fogg Art Museum only yards away.

Already a $425 million-a-year business, the card companies-led by Diners' Club. American Express, and Carte Blanche-hope to grow still bigger by trading on an unusual commodity: embarrassment. Since IRS Commissioner Mortimer Caplin has ruled that expense account items for entertainment costing $25 or more must be substantiated, they are counting on businessmen to avoid the unpleasantness of asking for a receipt in front of guests by flashing a credit card...
...found the job of finding a new location for his Indiana plant so complicated that he decided that he might make more money in selling industrial real estate. The firm stopped handling real estate in 1935 after Fantus' son-in-law and partner, Leonard Yaseen, saw a bigger future in selling site-finding expertise than in peddling land. Yaseen, 50, now runs the company's New York office while another Fantus son-in-law, Maurice Fulton, 42, heads the Chicago operation. Fantus now has branches in London and Brussels, and may soon set up new ones in Italy...
