Freshman John Bridgeland played impressively at number five in his first league match, stunning John Ferguson, 6-1, 6-2. Bridgeland served hard, standing on tiptoes to hit the ball and get as much height as possible out of his short frame. He also banged solid ground strokes and an occasional exceptional passing shot...
...capitulation inspired much heated debate: an associate professor at the University of Texas went so far as to ban from his classes all books written by Harvard professors, charging that the Faculty here had "turned chicken." More temperate charges adopted essentially the same argument, but the Faculty held its ground. Later, Pusey, surely no capitulationist, justified the vote by maintaining that "the black student thing is a very special matter." Despite Pusey's defense, the criticisms, as well as a lingering resentment on the part of many Faculty members, dogged the new department through its early years...

New England's number one lacrosse team--Harvard (check Tuesday's Globe if you don't believe me)--beat its opponent into the ground for the seventh time in its latest seven outings. The victim was a surprisingly tough UNH squad, and the score was a misleading 11-6--misleading because it was closer than that...
Only after Crimson marksmen Mike Faught and Mike Ward exploded for four unanswered goals in the last 16 minutes of play did the laxemen gain full control over the frisky Wildcats. Whereas coach Bob Scalise's well-conditioned troops may have made a habit of scooping up ground balls at twice the right of their foes all season, they edged out UNH by only 41-37 in that department yesterday...
