Coach Michael Horn's charges have reason to keep in practice. Coming off a second-place finish in last weekend's Boston Dinghy Cup regatta, the varsity sailors will have their tillers full trying to keep abreast of the always-tough armadas from Tufts, Yale and the University of Rhode Island in the race for a season-end berth in the North American championships. 'It's a rough year in the Northeast," Horn notes, and with only three of the top teams qualifying for the year-end shindig the team will have to keep its sails trim...
...Neff, senior Tom Reps, and junior co-captains Russell Long and Jim Hammitt, the sailors breezed home ahead of top-ranked Yale and traditional powerhouse Tufts in last weekend's meet, trailing only URI. The national sailing journals rate the Crimson between sixth and eighth in the nation, and Horn is confident his crew will wind up the season even better than that...
Following along in the squadron line are the freshmen, who really bring a smile to Horn's face.

And now, judging by Fidel Castro's current swing around Africa, they seem...
...lamps. Students often slept two to a bed, board was $10 a month, and both men and women residents worked on the school's farm to produce their food. The teachers' salaries were paid with proceeds from a touring minstrel show. Jones' band was a 17-horn affair-the brass bought on credit from Sears, Roebuck & Co. Many of its members also played football and would parade out for halftime shows in their football uniforms...
