Freshman coach Howie Houston will use now men at 130 (Frank Lombardi), 147 (Myles Cunningham), and unlimited (John Rosenthal). In addition, there will be a 191-pound affair for the freshman match only, and Tony Caimi, quarterback on the football team, will fill the post for Harvard. The Naval School is an unknown quantity; it is a prep school and competes against teams like Tabor...
...celebrations and ceremonies were scheduled to last for 3½ days. Crowds thronged the floodlit Coliseum to hear famed Jesuit Preacher Father Riccardo Lombardi (TIME, March 1, 1948) speak from the stones upon which Christian martyrs once died. At the Vatican the Pope held a semipublic consistory of some 500 bishops and 35 cardinals.

Some of them have been going to his shop for as long as 40 years and in at least two cases four generations of a family have taken their business to La Flamme's. It is this informal, one-big-happy-family atmosphere which brings people back and which prompts old grads to revisit La Flamme's whenever they happen to be around Boston...
