Number one player is Dusty Burke, a senior who has lettered for three seasons. Burke, this year's hockey captain, shoots a consistent 74 to 78 over the hilly, narrow Dedham course, but Richart, who calls him a "top-flight competitor," says he is better in match than in medal play.

Used as an altimeter, the instrument flashes a red light when raised three inches off a table...

Red Cross National Headquarters officials say that they tabulate blood contributions only by regions, and thus cannot state whether the University's total is actually the nation's largest. Closest competitor is the University of Idaho with 1,400 pints...
