Yale's wishbone offense churned out 370 yards on the ground against the Big Green defense, which had been rated the best in the league. The Eli infantrymen--Dick Jauron. Tyrell Hennings and Rudy Green--were bolstered by the addition of sophomore quarterback Tom Doyle...
Except for an ardent few, Americans have traditionally looked upon long hikes as a slow form of torture inflicted upon Boy Scouts and Army infantrymen. That view seems to be changing. With 20-to 40-lb. packs strapped to their backs, millions of nature lovers are now taking to the trails. Many stick to the neighboring countryside, but some groups are venturing so far into the wilderness that they carry homing pigeons to send back in case of trouble.

Daily, and often hourly, Indian planes strafed airports in Dacca, Karachi and Islamabad. Some 300 children were said to have died in a Dacca orphanage when a piston-engine plane dropped three 750-lb. bombs...
