...very little at Harvard, except to fans, and with the Faculty decision not to accept an NCAA invitation, the sextet's main incentive in its last home appearance will be to clinch its first league title since 1958-59--a long drought for the Crimson. The Tiger, and its dapper, holler-guy coach, R. Norman Wood '54, will probably not have to worry about indigestion from overeating...

He once pursued a U.S. heiress all the way to Ardmore, Okla., assuring her that he was the "Duke of Imperial." Actually, though his two brothers have titles, Jimmy has none. Leaving Oklahoma behind, Jimmy paused long enough to marry Mexican Movie Actress Rosita Arenas, but they are now separated. According to a Madrid newspaper, Jimmy sold all Rosita's jewelry, including her eight-carat engagement...
