...Sloss does a beautiful job of keeping his twenty-three fine musicians together through the tricky orchestrations. Now all he has to do is keep them quiet, for they are much too loud, and although few lyrics get lost, the noise gets painful. Mutes on the brass and a lighter hand on the tympani might help. J.D. McLaughlin's set leaves a maximum amount of clear space for cavorting on the small Agassiz stage. The show is brightly lit, as comedy should be, and the costumes are clashingly colorful and good...
Magnum in the Belly. Cleveland did, and it almost cost him his life. Flagged down for speeding, he got in a scuffle with a Texas state trooper-and caught a .357 magnum bullet in the belly. Four operations (plus 30 days in jail) later and 58 lbs. lighter, he went to work on Benbow's 2,600-acre cattle ranch in Yoakum, Texas, tossing 80-lb. hay bales to rebuild his atrophied muscles. Finally, last June, Williams scored a third-round TKO over Tod Herring, the tenth-ranked heavyweight contender, thereby won a shot at Champion Clay...
...Executive Board of the Harvard CRIMSON announced yesterday with regret the retirement of its faithful press. Press, born in 1907, has served the CRIMSON for the last decade, daily printing its pages. No gold watch was presented upon retirement. Press will leave soon and take up lighter work elsewhere. To replace him, the board has hired a wizz-press from the Cape Codder, where he has worked for the last ten years. His inauguration issue appears today...
...Notre Dame's massive defensive line weighs in at 240 Ibs. per man and looks even bigger-mostly because of Tackle Kevin Hardy, a ferocious 270-Ib. junior. Two weeks ago, against North Carolina, Hardy put on an awe-inspiring show of strength: charging right over the lighter Tar Heel linemen, he personally made half a dozen tackles, recovered a fumble, blocked four North Carolina passes and deflected a fifth into the hands of a Notre Dame linebacker...
Sightseeing Mistake. Not only was he 3 in. shorter and more than 35 lbs. lighter than the fugitive Hilda had described, but he had dark hair (now grey) and no gold teeth; he wore different clothes and drove a two-toned 1954 Oldsmobile. Told that it was all a mistake, Simmons spent the next day sightseeing and swimming only 50 miles from the border. He might better have headed for home. While he relaxed, the police learned that he had been convicted of burglary and auto theft in the U.S. Besides, he was technically a fugitive from a Texas mental...
