Captain Joe Noble and Bob Foster extended their unbeaten streaks to five apiece. Noble, at 157, defeated Gordon Gusney, 5-0, with a pin. Foster, at 177, won over Gene Apysel, 9-2. One of the two Crimson losses was suffered by Dave Skeels, at 130. Skeels, who was out of action last week with an injury, lost to Dave Clark...
...such divisions is the raw material for chaos, and under the pressures of Year 1959 the House might even be forgiven for flying off like pin wheels in 435 different directions. Small chance. In the 170 years of its existence the House, through trial and error (with plenty of both), has developed a remarkable system of self-government, comprised of hard rules and of a hard breed of men who, however else they may differ, live by their rules. The five top leaders of the House have only one thing in common. They can all say with Speaker Sam Rayburn...
...Pouser opened the rout, in the 123-lb. class, by pinning Tech's Stan Park at 5:39, after taking a 2-1 lead in the opening period. Two matches later, John Watkins, wrestling at 137, notched the varsity's second pin, beating M.I.T. sophomore Dave Lathan in 2:37. Nick Estabrook picked up another five points for the Crimson, the easy way, when an injury to Bob Forsten forced Tech to forfeit the 147-lb. division...
...other Harvard pins were registered by Pete Stanley and Ted Robbins. Stanley, a sophomore scoring his first varsity win, racked up five points in the first period against John Overdeck on a takedown and a near-fall, and went on to pin the Tech 167-pounder at 4:28. Robbins, beaten in his first two starts by highly-rated Cornell and Franklin and Marshall heavyweights, came up with an easy victory, pinning Jack Smith...
Modern science's view of antimatter as oddly charged particles that disappear on contact with matter has some connection, Dali thinks, with the medievalists' view of angels, which could light in hosts upon the point of a pin. His new canvas relates to both concepts. Seen close, it does dissolve into pure abstraction-as abstract, say, as the goings-on in a physicist's cloud chamber...
