Meanwhile, unknown strength is lodged in Adams House. The Gold Coast eleven consists mainly of sophomores untried in intramural competition. Because of this it has been impossible to select the most valuable members of the team. High scorer for the House, however, is John Frith, who scored both goals against Leverett...
Tasseled Umbrella. Nkrumah has moved more cautiously, but just as effectively, against the nation's No. 1 chieftain, Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyeman Prempeh II, the Asantehene or King of the Ashanti. His rich cocoa-growing and gold-mining territory furnishes the bulk of Ghana's revenue, and in the days before independence his well-stuffed treasury financed the political opposition to Nkrumah.

Originally priced around $7,000, life memberships have risen with inflation to $10,000, even higher in some cities. Some 4,100 have bought lifetime memberships.

...onetime Philadelphia lawyer seemed strangely out of place among the fierce-eyed, quick-fingered, nerve-torn bridge experts competing for the Life Masters Pair Gold Cup at Miami Beach's Americana Hotel. In a game whose fascinating frustrations can bring out the worst of man's nature, he remained bland and smiling. In a game where a peek can be worth two finesses, he carelessly held his hand within easy view of roving eyes. He actually treated kibitzers as humans ("I might as well love them.
