Adding to the Lore. Gershman's retirement spotlighted C.N.B.'s role as an excellent place for journalistic novitiates and as the source of journalistic legend. And both reputations seem deserved. Each spring the bureau gets applications from 400 aspiring young journalists. Since 1959, Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism has sent some of its most promising students to C.N.B. for three months of on-the-job training.

Last week, with victories over South Dakota State (76-63) and South Dakota (98-71), the Aces ran their streak to eight straight, turned the small-college rankings race into a walkover-collecting all but one of the votes for the No. 1 spot...
...turned down a $14,000 offer from the Baltimore Bullets to play one more year of college ball. Larry Humes, a 6-ft. 4-in. forward, is averaging 32.8 points a game, Center Herb Williams is only 6 ft. 3 in., but he can leap 11 ft. 4 in. Northwestern was fresh from a big victory over Kansas when it stopped by Evansville for a "breather." Guard Sam Watkins scored 26 points and Evansville won, 83-75. Notre Dame's Fighting Irish had a 3-in.-per-man advantage in the front court. Final score: Evans ville 89, Notre...
