Against Hampden-Sydney the next day, the varsity almost blew a 9-0 lead but hung on to win, 14 to 12. Dom Repetto held the home team scoreless for five innings, but Bob McGinnis, Matt Bottsford, and Rossano, who followed him to the mound, had more difficulty. Finally, the team's hitting attack which featured two home runs by Fisher, one round-tripper by Bing Crosby, and Stu Lavine's four hits, was enough to provide the Crimson with its second win this year...

Baker, 27 and two years out of art school, for a hectic, minutely squiggled abstractionist canvas titled High Frequency Ping. Almost every big-name Chicago artist finished...
...only damage suffered by the University was the breaking of a quarter-inch thick plate of glass in the front door of the Widener Library. The full-size pane broke at about 9:15 p.m., as the wind blew the swinging door shut after a reader entered the building. No one was injured...
