...mathematical text which skips twenty intermediate steps of a proof with a perfunctory "It is obvious from the above that ...," Wiener has a tendency to lcap from idea to idea, ignoring the connections between points. The reader often feels as if he is watching a mountaingoat bound from peak to peak--the display is impressive, but often hard to follow...

Trim Ted Bensinger is undismayed. He foresaw the drop and tried to forestall...
Sophomore ace Chris Pardee won his ballyhooed high jump clash with John Hartnett, beating the Tiger captain at 6 ft., 6 1/4 in. on fewer misses. Cold weather held both jumpers well below their peak height of 6 ft., 9 in., although Pardee went over the bar twice at 6 ft., 8 in., only to knock it off with his trailing...
