Reprieved & Relieved. To perform the major surgery that the Baltimore department needs, Governor J. Millard Tawes last week appointed State Adjutant General George M. Gelston, 53, who commanded Maryland's National Guard during the Cambridge race riots of 1963 and 1964. Gelston, a trim, crew-cut six-footer who won plaudits from both whites and Negroes for his fair, imperturbable handling of a potentially bloody conflict, plans a major reorganization, including such reforms as an inspector general to hear complaints from the ranks, stiffer recruitment standards, and more Negro cops...
There are several ways to postpone or avoid being drafted, though some of them involve other types of military service. The most pleasant way for married men is simply to sire a little deferment. A man may also join the Reserve or National Guard, but he must serve on active duty for four to six months, attend meetings for the rest of his six-year obligation, and be ready for active duty if his unit is called up during an emergency; besides, many National Guard and most Reserve units already have full quotas.

...within the next week or so. That may sound pretty presumptuous, considering that four of his five starters are holdovers from a 1964-65 squad that won only 15 out of 25 games. But then they have all had another year of Rupp. Guard Louie Dampier has developed into a deadly outside shooter (21.5 points per game). Forward Larry Conley has found his calling as the team's playmaker, has 48 assists this season. Forward Pat Riley has boosted his scoring average 5.6 points to 20.8. And Guard Tommy Kron has turned into a tiger on the backboards-thanks...
...Tigers have good big men in 6-6 Ed Hummer and 6-9 Robbie Brown and a fine guard in Gary Walters Princeton plays the style of basketball that Coach Floyd Wilson would probably love to see the Crimson use. They have an agonizingly slow attack, and are willing to wait and wait for good shot. Princeton would have to have a miserable night -- as they did last month -- for the Crimson to pull an upset...
...Jamaica last summer, sport fishermen blasted away at a long liner's glass floats with rifles. In Acapulco, only the timely arrival of a Mexican coast-guard boat averted a shooting match between charter-boat vigilantes and a Japanese long liner armed with a machine gun. And last July, when a flotilla of Norwegian long liners steamed into Maryland's Jack Spot, a pair of charter-boat skippers roared out and carved up the long lines with their boats' propellers...
