...getting harder and harder for St. Joseph's College of Philadelphia to maintain its position as the most underrated basketball school in the U.S. Not that St. Joe's doesn't try. A small (enrollment: 1,719) Jesuit liberal arts college, it conducts no high-powered recruiting campaign, schedules no gut courses for athletes, and employs a lecturer in education as head coach. Considering also that all but one of the players on the St. Joe's varsity come from Pennsylvania, and that the average height of the squad is a mere...
Last season, counting a 17-game South American tour on behalf of the State Department, St. Joe's won 42 out of 46 games, wound up No. 3 in the nation. Last week, after six games of the 1965-66 season, the Hawks were up to No. 2-and even that seemed like an insult, looking at the records of their rivals. U.C.L.A., picked by most experts to win its third straight N.C.A.A. championship, dropped two games in a row to Duke. Duke thereby jumped all the way from No. 6 to No. 1, despite a loss to unranked...
Cymbals & Tears. "Ferocity," according to Coach Jack Ramsay, is the key to St. Joe's game-and opponents who have experienced the dubious pleasure of playing the Hawks in the cacophonous confines of Philadelphia's Palestra, know just what he means. The screaming starts at the opening whistle, and it does not stop until the final buzzer-even for foul shots. A masked, feathered mascot dances about the sidelines while cymbals clash, and the cheering section roars: "The Hawk will never die!" An Ed. D. who is always called "Doctor" by his players, Ramsay is a pretty ferocious...
...into the mist. A smoothly professional cast clips off the randy dialogue with an inexhaustible zest for every sign of moral decay in the life of a British provincial town. Yet a film as good as Room at the Top creates no valid curiosity about the further adventures of Joe Lampton, whose future was contained in his past. Lured to this steamy sequel, bombarded with reminders of its predecessor, audiences soon know exactly where they are-leagues away from the microcosmic Warley, Yorkshire, and no more than a stone's throw from Peyton Place...
...When Joe comes home from a business trip to find his wife and his best friend in bed together, he meets the challenge to his honor by playing around a bit himself. The gamest girl he knows is a man-eating blonde TV commentator (Honor Blackman) who lives by a rule that might well raise obstacles for Joe: "Only one thing I ask from you-be honest." Joe follows his mistress to Lon don to earn success on his own merit, but every thread of his being leads straight back home to Brown & Hether-sett's woolens...
