Brown came right back and continued to apply pressure to the Crimson defensemen but again were unable to sneak one by Damiani. Fullbacks Ralph Earle, Billy Forbush and Sandy Cardin forced most Brown offenders to shoot from beyond the penalty area...
...street fighting in Beirut was touched off by an argument over a pretty girl. This time the tension was increased by a gasoline shortage resulting from the violence in Tripoli, which cut off most of Lebanon from the country's largest refinery. Some scenes-the sight of Cardin-clad gentlemen siphoning off other people's tanks, for instance-would have been hilarious except for the potential violence.

Among the last to design trousers, Givenchy showed pants superbly tailored in fine wools...
...world selling men's and women's clothing and a wide range of accessories, Saint Laurent rings up sales of $8 million in women's ready-to-wear alone. He has dabbled in towel and sheet designs because they "are like designing scarves," but, unlike Cardin, has declined to venture farther afield of fashion...
