Captain Tony Lynch, defending champion in the 60-yard hurdles, is Harvard's surest first-place bet. Lynch ran 7.2 for second place in the IC's, and the nearest Heptagonal competitor was Navy's Joe Wiggins in the fifth spot. Amount sophomore Gordon Rule, who upset Lynch in over, should battle Wiggins for second place tonight...
Perry Como and Andy Williams proved the rule, though their effortlessness had to be rehearsed. To produce a 60-minute program, Como tapes for as much as two days, Williams for up to eleven hours. Now both of them are being outrelaxed by a competitor so genuinely casual that he can't be bothered with a real rehearsal or even a retake. As a result, The Dean Martin Show is hoisting itself ever higher in the ratings and is the closest thing on the air to the free and easy spontaneity of old-fashioned live television...
...seat stadium was virtually empty last week as the skaters went through the exacting ritual, tracing and retracing each figure while judges got down on their hands and knees to search for the slightest bulge in a circle or the telltale double line that proved a competitor had used (heaven forbid!) the flat of her skate. "It takes very hard work to get the school figures perfect," sighed Peggy; her practice schedule for almost a year had consisted of five-hour workouts six days a week. It all seemed worthwhile when the judges added up their scores...
...where a wooden superstructure was installed to keep the careening sleds from shooting right over the banking. As the four-man competition got under way, a U.S. sled overturned at the Zig-Zag, injuring two of the crew. At that, the wife of the next competitor in line, Lake Placid's own Joe McKillip, begged her husband: "Don't go. Please don't go." McKillip withdrew. His place was taken by Sergio Zardini, 34, an Italian who moved to Canada two years ago. Zardini was the 1963 four-man world champion, and he had won the Diamond...
...five races in one day at Hialeah. Twice, he has won four in a day; six times, he has won three. Last week, with ten days still left of Hialeah's 40-day meeting, Baeza had already won 47 races-twice as many as his closest competitor, 15 shy of the track record Bill Hartack set in 1957, when he was the winningest jockey...
