...Indiana appears the favorite. Harvard's Peter Telow's 4:39+performance at the Easterns was not good enough to make the top ten and it is doubtful that he has the speed to go the couple of seconds faster he must in order to score. Princeton's Curt Haydon is a possible point-getter, but he is notorious for peaking at the Easterns and choking at the Nationals...
...doubt the two remaining clubs in the division will be tuned into Curt Gowdy's play-by-play next October. The Cubs should be happy the Phils are in the league or Wrigley's boys would definitely be "double mint, double good, double last," in the 1974 campaign. True, Chicago did junk that disgruntled pair of Ron Santo and Ferguson Jenkins on Unfortunate American League chumps. But the Cubs failed to capitalize on their close-out sale and will be knocking on the Phillies' dungeon door all season long...
...lose Harvard did, by a mere eight points, to a scrappy Princeton outfit that managed to parlay two firsts by Curt Haydon (he now has won the 500-yd. and 1650-yd. freestyles three years running), innumerable seconds and thirds (usually behind Crimson swimmers), and a couple of secret weapons into a second consecutive Eastern crown...
...fewer than 45 conspiratorial acts were cited in concise paragraphs that undoubtedly will be buttressed by extensive evidence, and sharply assailed by defense lawyers, in future trials. Those curt recitations of specific acts for the first time detailed the chronology of an increasingly desperate effort to keep the lid on the scandal. Free of all the testimonial contradictions and denials that have so confused the complex affair, the indictment included these overt acts...
...story has a catchy beginning: "Ferocious swarms of man-killing bees are buzzing their way toward North America." The second curt paragraph fairly shouts in terror: "They have already smashed their way through Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru." Lest the tension become unbearable, a third paragraph offers relief: "But don't panic. It may take ten to 14 years before the bees hit the U.S." This rather anticlimactic tale could well be a metaphor for the paper that carries it in its first issue, appearing on newsstands this week. The tabloid weekly National Star is arriving with...
