...bowled recently to discover that Bhutto, who grew up in Bombay, still holds a life membership in the C.C.I. The club has scheduled a special meeting to resolve the situation. One faction wants to expel him: Bhutto in his prime may have been a rather good opening bat, but, dash it, did he not let the side down by declaring war on India? A smaller pro-Bhutto clique will argue for his continued membership. After all, if Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is willing to summit with the chap (probably at the end of the month), shouldn't the C.C.I...
...past 23 years, visits to Manhattan by London's Royal Ballet have become a springtime ritual. In most cases, the company's programming has become ritualistic too: 19th century warhorses like Swan Lake and Giselle, plus a generous dash of contemporary works like The Dream and The Two Pigeons by the Royal's longtime director Sir Frederick Ashton...
...Quakers, incredibly talented and deep in both the field and the running events, appear to have the meet wrapped up, at least on paper, and are first place threats in a majority of races. They have, among others, a 9.7 100-yd. dash man, 9:00 two-miler in Denis Fikes, a 50.8 intermediate hurdler in Bruce Collins, a 1:51.9 half miler in Jubo Piazza and a 4:08 miler in Karl Thornton.

...coaching staff and found them all to be of a similar nature to Yovicsin, Feula and Stephens. In the spring. I reported for Harvard's day of football where the newcomers to the Varsity are timed, and run through drills. I ran a 4.8 in the 40-yard dash. The other halfback prospects--Ted DeMars and Richie Gatto--ran the same time for the 40. But at 210 pounds I was larger than both, outweighing DeMars by 15 pounds and Gatto by 35 pounds. I was pleased with my time because I had been away from football for three years...
