Although he had to settle for second place himself, Builder Bertram could hardly have been happier. His boats had finished one-two-three, and the closest competitor, a Formula 233, was 10 min. behind. The durability of the Bertram had been proved again. Battered almost beyond belief, Rum Runner had averaged 32.6 knots to win the roughest Miami-to-Nassau race in history...
Wrong-Way Runaway. Rarely, in fact, have Ford and its 167,000 employees been so excited about a new model-and the effect it will have on competition. Into Iacocca's office one day recently strolled Don Frey, triumphantly carrying a grainy photographic print of a competitor's 1965 model, obviously made with a telescopic lens under conditions far from ideal.

A few Ivy wrestlers do take places--two Penn wrestlers scored this year, and Yale's Will Elting took a surprise third place...
