...Winthrop hockey team took over first place in the standings from Dunster House last Saturday, edging the Dunster squad, 3-1, in a nip-and-tuck battle. Sophomore Dave Rosenthal put Winthrop ahead in the first period, 1-0, but Dunster tied the game in the second period. Chuck Weed scored what proved to be the winning goal for Winthrop in the third period, but Rosenthal tallied once more to insure victory. Sam Perkins sparkled in the nets for Winthrop, deflecting many a Dunster barrage...
...four relay runners had performed well in earlier events. Colburn eased through his afternoon trial in the 1000, then ran a superb tactical race to nip Yale's Steve Bittner in the finals. Starting last, the redheaded junior gradually worked his way up to second place. With 200 yards to go, he burst past Bittner un-expectedly and held off a last-ditch challenge to snap the wire...
There was no way to find comfort. Liquor was out, since one nip of frigid high-proof alcohol although still liquid would freeze the mouth and throat and cause almost instant death.

The dance numbers are nimble but not al ways fluent, with the cast sometimes thundering about like a cattle stampede...
West Germany's problems were largely the result of a spending spree on the part of both consumers and government that sent the cost of living soaring. By clamping down on capital expenditures and tightening money, the government was able to nip inflation-and by the end of 1967, the economy was stabilized. During the first two months of this year, production was up about 5.5%. In March, crude-steel output hit an alltime high of 3.6 million tons. Domestic auto sales have been slower to recover, but carmakers predict an increase of 12% this year. Even the staid...
