Princeton carried Ivy hopes into the NCAA basketball tourney, but lost in the Eastern semi-finals to North Carolina. Both teams played far below par in a game that decided, in effect, who will face unbeatable UCLA in the NCAA final at Louisville next weekend.

He still managed five birdies and a one-over-par 73 to hold the halfway lead by a comfortable two strokes. Every pro golfer has his own notions about what makes a good golf course -and few of them apparently agree with famed Architect Robert Trent Jones, who designed Spyglass Hill, the third course on which last week...
