...this week coach Harry Parker has been dissatisfied as he rides up and down the Charles with his dog Ralph. And when Harry is upset, Ralph is surly. But even more important, Parker's mood means his varsity crew is not up to par. So, when the squad loaded the bus this morning for the trip to Princeton and tomorrow's Compton Cup, seven personnel changes or seat switches had been made in the first boat lineup in an attempt to remedy things. For the moment, Harry was happy and Ralph was home in Winchester...
Today many Eskimos are abandoning their dog teams in favor of snowmobiles, but the compression-fracture problem, it seems, will still be with them. Particularly vulnerable will be the poor fellow who rides a sled towed behind the snowmobile, a common Eskimo practice...
...wants to build-but not operate -a $150 million oil-desulfurization plant at the head of glorious Penobscot Bay. The proposed site: the little town of Searsport (pop. 1,800), a drab, faded conglomeration of weather-beaten brick buildings, a railroad depot, an oil tank farm and a Purina Dog Chow silo.

"I'm not for pollution," says Paul Staples, owner of a Searsport...

In San Francisco, where everything conceivable has been seen for several years, the D.A. recently got convictions against three porno film-house proprietors, one of them for showing a movie in which a woman had intercourse with a dog, a stallion and a hog.

Although legal sophisticates realized that this was due to the abstention of Justice...
...Baltimore Orioles, winners of last year's World Series, in an exhibition game at Miami. First Baseman Sadaharu Oh, the "Babe Ruth of Japan," who slugged 47 homma last season and earns a neat $120,000 a year, drove in two runs on two hits, using an odd, dog-at-a-hydrant batting stance that hasn't been seen in the U.S. since the heyday of Mel Ott. Oh's occidental counterpart, mountainous Boog Powell (35 home runs and a $90,000 salary), went hitless. Although the Giants moved into an early lead, the Orioles pulled...
