...fact, the Crimson effort as a whole lacked any sign of spirit. The hoopsters let a team that slipped past them by three points last season dictate the game's pace and style from beginning to end.

...first migrated from the Hudson River into the lakes after man had opened the way with the Erie Canal, the native lake trout is again being pulled from the lakes by sports fishermen, who now can also catch coho and chinook salmon from the Pacific Ocean. Still, despite the fact that the waters are cleaner and the lamprey has been contained by a concerted attack on its breeding ground, the game fish population can be sustained only by frequent replanting. Says K.H. Loftus, of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources: "The real criterion of the rebound of the lakes will...
