Williams' outdoor hockey rink froze in time for Saturday night's game with the Crimson, but the varsity's forwards turned the heat on Eph goalie Dick Alford and skated to a 9-2 victory. Dick Fischer and Dave Vietze contributed two goals each and Bud Higgenbottom scored once for a first line that showed considerable speed and passing precision...

He escaped from his bourgeois surroundings into adolescence, studied in Venice, bummed in Paris, took to art. It was a spiraling fall to greatness.

He dropped his amber-tinted visor over his tearing eyes-but he could not read his instruments again without lifting it. His gloved hands froze to near helplessness. Under his seat was the armed, unexploded powder charge that had failed to fire his seat out of the cockpit in the early bail-out try. "You're so numb, I don't think there's any fear at all. You're just numb...
