COLUMBIA-YALE: The Lions should be hungry after their game in Cambridge last Saturday. But you've got to kill it before you can eat it, and therein lies one of the problems. Columbia lost two of its best players against Harvard, and though one of the replacements is a Westchester boy, there appears to be little way that the boys from New York City can beat the Bulldogs. Yale's offensive attack is improving and is balanced, but it has yet to play a decent first half. The Elis, however, will have to play 60 minutes of very poor...
Nature's brute strength is never more frightening than during a major earthquake. The earth shifts with a sickening sway. Gaping fissures open in the ground. If the temblor strikes a populated area, roads may be torn up, buildings toppled and untold lives lost - as happened in Northeast Iran last year, when as many as 22,000 people were killed in two successive quakes.

She grew up in the cultivated, opulent court of France and French was the language she ordinarily spoke and wrote throughout her life. Pampered and adored there, she was the bride of the sickly Dauphin at 15, Queen of France at 16, a widow-and very possibly still a virgin...
...Crimson harriers are cocky, cocky as hell. They haven't lost any of their last 29 meets, and now that they've whipped Penn, their only challenger, it's unlikely that they'll lose at all this season...
