...draw with Penn's Mike Hannon, at 4-4, Harvard lost five consecutive matches. Included among those was Mike Morris' (137) 7-2 loss to Quaker Vic Antes. Morris, who had not gone out for the team this year, volunteered for action when Harvard's Bruce Goodman dislocated his elbow wrestling at 137 against M.I.T. Wednesday...
Included among the trade-off victories were two consecutive forfeited bouts, one to each school. At 137, Harvard's Bruce Goodman suffered a dislocated elbow in the third period of his match with Jack Wu. But the five points M.I.T. received for that match had hardly been tallied on the score board when M.I.T.'s Jack Maxham, at 145, dislocated his knee. It meant a first-period forfeit victory to Harvard's Jeff Seder, and a matching five points for the Crimson in the team score...

Plagued for months by a painful case of "tennis elbow," he switched from wood to steel in July and the pain disappeared...
...some $5 billion, double their output in 1962. By the early '70s, Diebold predicts, the business will triple to $15 billion a year. Though 80% of the nation's computers are leased, most are on direct rental from manufacturers. The computer-leasing firms have been able to elbow their way in by the classic route of price cutting. They generally charge at least 10% less than the manufacturer's rental fee. In doing so, they are betting that they can keep their costly machines continuously leased for as long as ten years, or about double the payoff...
