Rich Hammond, shutting out Princeton in his first full game since he was injured three weeks ago, provided stability at goalie, the only weak link Harvard has shown in its recent victories...
Princeton is not unbeatable. A week ago- last-place Brown lost to the Tigers, 45 to 27, but Bruin quarterback Bob Hall threw four touchdown passes in that contest. Hall called innumerable down-and-out passes in the defensive zone of cornerback Hayward Gipson, apparently the weak link on Princeton's defense. But Harvard, sadly, does not have a passing attack which can put much pressure on the Tiger defense.

Flights of Air Force Thunderchiefs and Phantoms shattered three rail bridges on the already-mangled Hanoi-Lao Kay line, chewed up 300 yards of track and a railway yard. The Lao Kay-Lang Son line is the only rail link between Red China's Yunnan province and the rest of China, and with the U.S. hitting it twice a week since Sept. 4, all traffic to Yunnan is now moving by highway or air. So far, Peking has not retaliated. "We figured it was a pretty good calculated risk...
