...cinch that Penn will do a great deal of passing today. Odell certainly hasn't forgotten the way his Bucknel' team upset Harvard in 1964: pass, pass, pass. The Crimson aerial defense rates statistically as one of the ten best in the country, but only because Harvard hasn't faced an out-and-out passing attack all year. Penn's only hope for springing an upset is for Wisniewski to riddle the Harvard secondary with passes; the Crimson defensive line is too good for Penn's runners to permeate with any regularity...

So the fans flocked to the park-1,732,597 of them last year...
...Mets again, striking out 14 men in nine innings. That plus another 12 strikeouts in shutting out Pittsburgh 1-0 for his 21st victory at week's end brought his total K's this year to 279. With about twelve pitching turns to go, he seems a cinch to smash Bob Feller's alltime ma jor league record of 348 strikeouts...
...sophomore sprinter Wayne Andersen, had his problems on the muggy Rutgers track. He made it to the finals of the 100, but slipped coming out of the blocks and spent the first ten yards trying to regain his balance. By the time he did, he was a lead-pipe cinch for sixth place...
