...Like a pig in a poke" is the way coach Bruce Munro describes this morning's soccer game with Columbia. The varsity will face the Lions here at 11 a.m., and nothing about the contest--not Columbia's strength, the Crimson's lineup, the rules, or the condition of the playing field--is without its own measure of uncertainty...
...Bums came back Sunday to their converted football stadium (converted from Saturday's Ohio State-UCLA game) with a split. The teams seemed to have their roles reversed. The Sox, who finished seventh in the American League in batting, outslugged the power-packed Los Angeles lineup, 22 hits to 14, though they lost the next two games...

Dartmouth fell the next day, 81 2/3 to 58 1/3, in the Stadium, as coach Bill McCurdy juggled his lineup to prevent a slaughter. Benjamin ran a 4:12.1 mile for the day's best performance. Finally the Crimson took third in the Heptagonals, with Benjamin scoring ten of the team's 40 points and deKiewiet continuing undefeated in the high jump...
