...Udall committee's concern about nuclear power was based at least in part on a tour by some of the members of the crippled Pennsylvania plant last week. Three more human errors contributing to the accident were disclosed: 1) The operators not only shut off the auxiliary feed-water system two days before the accident but also mistakenly indicated on their check sheets that the water had been promptly restored.

...critical goals late in the first half as prelude to his pair of fourth-quarter tallies. With three and a half minutes left in the half and the Crimson holding a man advantage, the Harvard single-season goal scoring record holder broke a 5-5 tie by taking a feed from assist factory Norman Forbush and blowing it by Wildcat goalie Peter Sheehan.
