...very pleased with the great turnout,” said Utpal N. Sandesara ’08, Dharma’s social chair. “We hope to hold it for many years to come.” Participants gathered to play traditional games such as Carrom, a pool-like board game, and Khabbadi, a game similar to tag. But the celebration reached its climax with the ceremonial throwing of rang, a colored powder that is tossed at fellow observers, symbolizing the filling of the world with colors, according to Sandesara. In modern-day India, the celebration...
...rich, Marx has a "Space Satellite Launcher" ($3) that propels the plastic satellite skyward by a hand-crank mechanism; Irwin Corp. a "Skeet Shoot" ($4) that throws targets into the air, for a rifle loaded with darts; and Carrom Industries, a boxing game ($6.95) in which players manipulate toy fighters until the knockout.

The Crimson leader gave an exhibition of clever stick handling and shifty footwork which completely baffled his opponents, showing ability to outflank either Eli wing with ease, to reverse his field, carrom off the boards, and hurdle interference at top speed, Bigelow merited the greatest meed of praise for the victory...
Gardner's work at goal was first class and he hit both of the shots that scored, only to have the puck carrom off his guards into the net. The first goal same on a long shot by Chartrand, while the second was scored by the same man from a scrimmage in front of the cage. The defence on the whole was good, although the men did not feed the puck to the forwards very well. Occasionally the offence showed bursts of speed, but it was only occasionally. Sortwell and Phillips played brilliantly in the second half, but never seemed...
