...shot put record of 58' 11 1/2"; captain Jeff Huvelle broke a 50-year-old record in the 440-yard dash; Steve Schoonover became the first Ivy League polevaulter to go 16 feet; Roy Shaw and Jim Baker made several valiant but futile runs at the four minute mile; Frank Haggerty established himself as one of the nation's best hurdlers before a freak accident cut short his senior season. More than anything else Harvard lacked experience, but there may be help from the freshmen and there is a transfer student from Northeastern who is expected to provide some...
...Varsity races over a gruelling four-mile course on the Thames River in New London, Conn. The JV race is three miles; the freshman, two miles. Harvard should win all three contests in the Regatta, though Yale might make a strong showing with its junior varsity, which finished a length back of the Crimson at the Worcester Sprints a month...
...international competition is raced over a 2000 meter course. This year the normal mile and three quarters distance for heavyweight crew was shortened to 2000 meters, a half-mile reduction. Burke's oarsmen will be competing in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association championship regatta on the same day as the Harvard-Yale race...

Most of them live on the dole in eight refugee camps, sitting in the shade of their huts and shuffling sad-eyed from...
...want me to win." That was the way it looked last week as Granatelli, 45, the Don Quixote of auto racing, once again was frustrated in his long and costly quest to win the Indianapolis 500. Last year, only the failure of a $6 ball bearing with eight miles to go kept Parnelli Jones from winning the 500-mile race in Granatelli's revolutionary, turbine-powered STP Special. Last week, in an uncannily similar disaster, Joe Leonard was whooshing toward apparently certain victory in a new STP turbine when-just 22 miles from the finish-a $12 fuel-pump...
