...Baudouin's first state visit to a foreign country since he became King on the abdication of his father, Leopold III, in 1951. A shy, serious bachelor who hates pomp and loves sport (golf, billiards, swimming, skiing, motorcycling), the King said in good English that he came from "a country old enough to have been spoken of proudly by Julius Caesar,"* called America the "land of youth," drew according nods from Associate Justice Felix Frankfurter, 76, and Rhode Island...
...happier mission, Eisenhower and Churchill whirred off by helicopter to the farm at Gettysburg next afternoon, rode around in Eisenhower's electric golf cart, Churchill wearing a ten-gallon hat, inspecting Eisenhower's butterfat Black Angus cattle.

To most of these sports a grant of a few hundred dollars would be of major importance. All of them could survive all year on what it costs to fly a "major" team to a couple of away games...
...varsity turned in a disappointing performance this weekend on a Princeton golf course tailored specially for the Eastern Intercollegiate tournament. With the fairways narrower and the roughs three to four inches longer than usual, the team carded high scores in bowing to the Tigers, 5 to 2, in a dual meet Friday, and finished ahead of only Columbia, Holy Cross, and Brown in the 16-team three-day weekend tourney...
