...POOR, HUNGRY AND SICK CHILDREN IN PALLOTTINE MISSIONS IN SOUTH AMERICA, AUSTRALIA AND INDIA. Pictures of children, bellies bloated from hunger, encouraged compassion. Romantic renderings of the Dodge Coronet or Apache Eagle camper that a lucky giver might win in return for his contribution flavored compassion with a dash of greed. And why not? The Roman Catholic Pallottine Fathers, an international order founded in Italy in 1835, support 2,200 priests and brothers in 26 countries. Its U.S. fund raisers were tired of pleading for nickels and dimes, year after year. By applying hard-sell money-raising means...
Northeastern was never far behind for long. Ron Chambers, an eventual triple winner in the long and triple jumps and the 60-yd. dash, took the long jump event with a personal best of 24' 9". He was followed closely by Huskie freshman standout Ricky Thompson, who hauled in second place with a leap of 24' 4 1/2."

In fact, the places where they do show some weakness, such as the dash and the hurdles, have not been among the Crimson's strongest suits, although there has been some improvement in these areas. At the Brown meet, for example, Harvard ran one-two-three in the dash and took second and third in the hurdles. This kind of good news is important because it is in events like these that the Huskies will have to be beaten for Harvard...
Kathy Rice starred for the Crimson, recording first place in the 50-yard dash and the long jump. Rice leapt more than 17 feet in the long jump and also ran the first leg of the winning 880 relay team...
