...traditional, the best being Glazounov's "Raymonda" with the Balanchine choreography. But it seems to me that a contemporary arts festival program should be at least half made up of modern works.

...Angeles this week, Abilene Christian's blond blur, Bobby Morrow, paced the sprinters with a world-record-tying 0:10.2 in a 100-meter heat.

Yale apparently caught one this week about four strokes from the finish, and this possibly spelled the difference...
...Cornell junior varsity 150's nipped the Crimson by about two feet after a see-saw duel. Winning time was 6:47.3. The Yardling lightweights finished third behind Princeton and M.I.T., the Princeton cub eight winning in 6:44.8. The Yardling time...
