There are 404 condemned men, duly convicted and now awaiting execution in penitentiaries. One of them, Rapist William Patrick Clark, 29, who said that he wanted to die, was granted a stay by Georgia's Governor Lester Maddox last week, only 49 minutes before his scheduled electrocution.

...team divided into two squads for the tour. The first varsity squad, composed of the top four plus Bauer and Hodges, defeated two Richmond, Va., clubs and lost twice to Georgia, 5-4 and 7-2, and twice to the University of North Carolina...
