Three big projects in one week were quite a feat even for Pittsburgh, where, in the past decade, 50 major downtown buildings have sprung up (cost: $130 million) and 4,000 off-street parking spaces have been created. In the Golden Tri angle business district, where no new office building had been put up between 1930 and 1945, one-fourth of the area has been rebuilt in ten years, raising assessed property value by 25%.

Smooth interaction of the two enabled him to become the first man ever to toss the shot beyond 60 ft.-a feat comparable to the four-minute mile. His farthest throw, of 63 ft. 2 in., is more than 6 ft. farther than his 1952 Olympic record.

The sextet won its third consecutive Ivy League championship hands down last year and should be able to at least equal that feat again this year. Most of the 1956 forward lines are returning this season, along with several members of an outstanding freshman team. And for the second straight year its captain, James Bailey, is the goalie. The hockey team is definitely the outfit to watch this year...
