Bruin netminder Don McGinnis, who was largely responsible for his team's upset of Cornell last Saturday, is actually an inch shorter than Crimson goalie Bill Diercks. Diercks, who has not escaped the label "diminutive" since he first slid his 5-6 frame into a Harvard cage, was spectacular in the Crimson's knockoff...
Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile, runs the old standpatter against liberalizing practically anything. Witness Britain's venerable Oxford Union, an all-male preserve for 142 years until it banned de sexo segregation in 1963. Just four years later, the university debating society has elected a girl president. She is pert, brunette Seraldine Jones, 21, daughter of a Liverpool schoolmaster and now heiress to an office once held by William Gladstone, Herbert Asquith and Ted Heath.

...sand core, held in place by iron wire and tacks-which is how French bronze statues in the 1920s were cast.

"They held up the film dripping wet, and for the first time I could see inside the horse," he says. "I could see the sand core, the iron wire and the iron points. That...
...shot put, Harvard's Dick Benka amazed everyone with a 56'11" winning toss. Benka's throw was a half-inch longer than the five-year-old Cage mark and more than two feet over the big junior's best previous throw (54'6"). Army's Dan Seebart, who beat Benka for first in last Year's Heps, did not compete Saturday...
That feud centered on the FTC's decision to smoke nonfilters down to a finger-burning 23 mm. (about ½ of an inch); the filters were puffed to a bare ⅛ of an inch before the filter wrapping. The industry protested that the average smoker tosses the butt away at 30 mm. (about 1½ in.). The FTC itself was divided 3 to 2 on whether to make the butt 23 mm. or 30 mm., which would generally lower the levels but make for more uniform testing because most filter and non-filter types could then be smoke-tested...
