...winner, capturing the high jump at 6 ft., 2 in., and the broad jump at 22 ft., 11 3/4 in. Other first-place finishers for the Crimson were Ted Bailey with 57 ft., 1/2 in. in the weight, Greg Baldwin with 10:51 in the two-mile-plus-one-lap, a special event running last night only, and Jay Mahaney with 12 ft., 6 in. in the pole vault...
Undoubtedly the best race of the meet was the 200 yard breaststroke. For the first six laps Crimson sophomore Bill chadsey held a six foot lead over Army's Steve Childers. But then the gap began to close; for the last lap the two were neck and neck until Chadsey gave an extra lunge at the finish to touch out Childers in a time of 2:24.9. Chadsey's time was nearly three seconds better than last week's and only one and one-half seconds away from 1961 captain Bill Schellstede's Harvard record...

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad stockholders flatly rejected Central overtures in favor of merger talks with the more profitable Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. The Central was also rebuffed when it tried to elbow into the projected merger of the Norfolk & Western Railway and the New York, Chicago & St. Louis (Nickel Plate) Railroad. And since the Pennsylvania owns 32.6% of the Norfolk & Western's voting stock, Perlman began to fear that the girl he had rejected might join the N. & W.-Nickel Plate combine, leaving...
