Monbouquette and Wilson may have their names inscribed on a plaque in the Hall of Fame, but they've been terribly inconsistent all season. Then there's the now you-see-him-you-don't man. Gene Conley. After an excellent beginning, he has been not only in constant but like the others in consistent...
Once they have attained wealth or fame, most alumni like to do something nice for their alma mater.

Gardner became a professional soldier, fought under General George Patton in World War II, served in a combat unit in Korea. This spring Staff Sergeant Gardner was sent to South Viet Nam as a military "adviser."
