Martin Chalfie won a place in finals of the 200-yard butterfly with a spectacular time of 2:02, three seconds faster than his previous fastest time...
...object to the fact that the Monkees were hand-picked and trained to make money instead of deciding how to do it themselves. But the younger rock 'n' roll fans care nothing for the origin of the species. They have bought the second Monkee LP even faster than the first. It is all there: the early-Beatle beat and the simplistic lyrics ("I promise you the sun is going to shine again"). I'm a Believer is the hit of the disk...
Only four men have ever run the 100-meter dash faster than the San Jose (Calif.) State College senior, who has clocked 10.1 sec. (the world record is 10 sec. flat); the 100 is not even his specialty.

Last spring in San Jose, Tommie ran the 220 on a straight course in 19.5 sec., clipping .5 sec. off Dave Sime's ten-year-old world record...

A five-hour delay in landing was caused by an East Coast snowstorm. At New York, customs officials, alerted by Washington, passed the suitcase without opening it. A private plane flew...
Unlike last year's freshman team, which was also excellent, this year's squad relies on its runners. John Dugan, for example, is a swift 1000 man, who finished second in the Big Three in a time faster than any Crimson freshman ever, except Colburn. Jim Fabiani, a dashman who has run consistently well all year, placed third Friday...
