Pottetti was the only Crimson runner who managed to escape the crush of the crowded field. Keith Colburn finished 69th after running an uneven race. He fell back and then spurted forward severaltimes. The course, a mile longer than the usual intercollegiate distance, probably hindered the speedy Colburn as much as it did anyone...
...paper; people would scream at it. That's when the Church; I guess they didn't like the idea of the headlines, they thought it should be the old Quaker line such as the old Boston Post, or something. Uncle Ned, or whatever it was.

By instinct, I would pick Princeton. With prayer, however, I call a seventh straight victory for our eleven...
...people are overjoyed to have them, whatever their reasons for coming. "It has to work," says Mrs. Lolita Chandler, veteran teacher of P.S. 178. "It will work. In spite of everything that people are doing to crush this beautiful thing. We have been floating around in this sea of negativism for too long. People don't have the courage to face the fact that the status quo just hasn't worked. Instead, they get themselves frightened by such ideas as Black Power and militancy. It's not that at all. It is just a simple matter...
