...last weekend, Penn, a team Harvard beat 5-4, upset Navy in one of the most dramatic matches in intercollegiate history. The Midshipmen won four of the top five matches, while the Quakers captured the bottom four...
...bittersweet quality that gives bite to the blues, soulin' is a Rawls specialty. His style is all his own. Drawing from a mixed bag of songs, he improvises effortlessly within a three-octave range, spiraling up to a keening, gospel wail, then swooping down to a gritty, resonant bottom. Betwixt and between, he intersperses rhythmic lick-ety-split soliloquies. He will lead into Streetcorner Hustler's Blues, for example, by telling of a two-timing hippie who pleads with his knife-wielding wife to take his white-on-white Cadillac "butjustdon'tcutmynewsuit'causeljustgotit outofthepawnshopandlgottohavemy-frontsolcankeepmakingmygame...
When informed of his standing, Royer commented, "I feel okay about that, but I feel lousy about the team ranking at the bottom of the league.

...LBNP looks like an oil drum and can be fastened tightly at the waist. Made of rubberized, aluminum-lined canvas, it creates an airtight bag for the body's bottom half. Air is pumped out to create a partial vacuum. Since cabin air pressure is therefore greater on the body's upper half, some blood is forced into the lower part-approximating the effect of gravity-and the heart must make an earthlike extra effort to keep blood moving down below...
...Robert J. H. Kiphuth, 76, Yale's peerless swimming coach from 1918 to 1959, who was only a fair-to-middling paddler himself but had such an eye for form, such a fetish for physical fitness and such a commitment to his sport (he would sit at the bottom of the pool in a diving suit to spot flaws invisible from above) that he won 528 dual meets (v. only twelve losses) and four national championships for Yale plus four Olympic victories for the U.S.; following an intestinal hemorrhage; in New Haven, Conn...
