Shot Point-Blanlc. As the Russians tell it, the fighting was a coolly calculated, carefully planned act of aggression on the part of the Chinese. Under cover of wintry night, some 300 Chinese soldiers camouflaged in white uniforms crept across the river's ice to the 6,200-sq.-yd. island.

A second unit concentrated mortars, grenade throwers and heavy machine guns on the Chinese side of the river and strung field telephone lines between the two units...

Cliffe Ruderman and Sam Fouts won two of their three matches to give the Crimson a 7-2 margin in the weapon and put the meet on ice. For Fouts, and fellow senior Winfield, yesterday's meet ended three-year varsity careers at Harvard...
