Television's relentless cameras (more than 70 were deployed) caught some memorable pictures-the proud profile of Keynoter Douglas MacArthur; the hand of defeated Bob Taft, which, like a numbed limb, remained outstretched long after his handshake with Ike; the small drama of eager hands passing a microphone along during a delegation poll...

It's a big victory for the Crimson. If Love's varsity doesn't beat Princeton, its hopes for an Olympic berth over the summer will be virtually shattered, because both Penn and Navy have proven themselves to be outstanding Olympic material...
