There the captives sat last week -Martin and three other Americans, a Dutchman, a German and eleven Bolivians - frightened and endangered pawns in a medieval power struggle high in the Bolivian Andes. Dark-featured Indian women, wives of rebellious tin miners, stood guard over them in a shabby union hall at the 14,000-ft.-high Siglo Veinte mine, 135 miles from La Paz. The women cradled tommy guns and tucked dynamite caps beneath their bulging petticoats.

Several streaks are on the line tonight. Harvard has an eleven game winning streak over the last two years. They haven't been defeated at Watson Rink since December, 1961, when Clarkson turned the trick. They've beaten Bowdoin three times without a loss in their brief series. Tonight at ten you can probably add one to each of these figures...
