Running against Morgan State's Nick Ellis, Bates' Rudy Smith, and Michigan's Tony Seth, all of whom tower over him, Yale's Jim Stack led from the outset to win in the fine time of 1:10.9. There is no Crimson runner within five seconds of him in this event. Both Stack and Carroll came back after brief rests to pace the number one Eli two-mile squad. Carroll contributed a 1:55 880 as anchor man to fight off challenges by Villanova and Georgetown...
...power. He tackled five major translations, including a 600-page history of German literature and two German plays (he has four more in the works).

No day is long enough for me now"), and aging fingers have forced him to forgo his accomplished piano playing ("It doesn't pay to do things you can't do well"). These days he focuses all his energy and experience on the electric typewriter in his tiny, cluttered study. He has letters to write to his 200 regular correspondents; his scholar's work is never done. Says he with a fierce look in his eye: "There is never enough time...
