...Crimson hitters may get one break from good pitching today when Northeastern's sophomore southpaw Steve Grolnic takes the mound for his first college start. Grolnic compiled an unspectacular record for the Husky freshmen last year and is the number two man on the staff behind mammoth righthander Dick McPherson, who shut out Tufts 3-0 on a two-hitter Monday...
...pitcher's duel was in the offing from the beginning, as both teams placed their top hurlers on the mound. Del Rossi, who raised his season's won-lost record to 2-0, has been pitching consistently good ball, and Tufts' lefty Miles Nogelo is the Jumbo's primary pitching hope this season. The Elephants managed to complete only two games on their Southern swing this spring, but Nogelo was outstanding in a four-hit, 3-2 victory over George Washington...

All-New England second baseman Neil McPhee (.347 last year) has moved over to fill in at shortstop; Paul Lombardi (.313), an outfielder last year takes over at second.

She lay with rich grave goods still around her-500 beads of carnelian and 75 of gold, silver pins, a silver chain, four ivory boxes, an ivory spoon with a human head carved on it, and many objects of bronze and pottery. She must have died about...
