Dartmouth should not be discounted, though. The Pea Green defeated the strong Boston College five that trounced the Crimson freshmen 115-90. Also Jim Bailey, one of Harvard's best rebounders and shooters, is out with a dislocated elbow...

Undismayed when exposing pea cells to the vapor for two months failed to produce results, Perner doggedly lengthened the experiment to nine months and finally got his pictures. "My greatest achievement," he says, "was that I was patient...
