PENN-Lehigh--The Quakers return lettermen at every position which means that they can successfully defend their ranking in the bottom ten. Penn has lost its ethnic: flare and offensive spark in quarterback Pancho Micir, but Lehigh once scored a total of 25 points in 21 games with Penn. Rumors had it that Dick Harter was going to double as basketball and football coach this year, but Dick insisted that none of his players would wear sissy pads. Penn will prevail...
Happily, the Jeremiahs were wrong. There have been isolated outbreaks, but in keeping with the continued cooling of America, there has been no trouble approaching the mass thermal flare-ups of the past. It was the most trouble-free summer since...
While crowds of British vacationers gaped, the airplane came in at 1,200 ft., slowed to 120 m.p.h. Out popped an unlikely parachutist: Prince Charles, in wet suit, crash helmet and goggles, equipped with a whistle and a smoke flare in case he got lost. Not bloody likely.

Says San Francisco Chronicle Fashion Editor Joan Chatfield-Taylor: "You have to do your swooping out of doors. In a store, you are sure to break everything in sight." Moreover, cape wearers would do well to stock up on small clutch purses: standard-size pocketbooks held beneath the fabric imply that the lady is either pregnant or a smuggler...
