Like that $5,500 allowance race at Florida's Hialeah Park last week. The 9-2 third choice of the bettors, mostly because Baeza was on his back, Native Pitt broke slowly from the gate, was just beginning to make a move when he made a misstep and snapped both forelegs. Jockey Baeza reacted instinctively. Hauling violently on the reins, he somehow kept the staggering horse in a straight line. Finally he flung himself clear of the falling animal. An ambulance rushed him to Miami's North Shore Hospital, where he was reported "alert and conscious," suffering from...
Judge Irving H. Saypol was not impressed. In a blistering and verbose 19-page ruling (with three long appendixes) that cited such diverse sources as William Pitt the Elder and Saypol himself, the judge said that Weinstein's complaint must be answered. But he seemed to chafe under the need to wait the required ten days. "The case for relief for petitioner," said Judge Saypol, "is clear...
...shift speeds Pennsylvania's trend toward state help for private universities rather than construction of new ones. Even such basically private universities as the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Pittsburgh receive substantial amounts of state aid.

Sophomore Halfback Garrett Ford chipped in with TD runs of 5 yds. and 58 yds., while Pitt Coach John Michelosen moaned, "I've never seen so many perfect...
...resignation, although Litchfield, 51, is still recuperating from a heart attack and is under doctors' orders to reduce his work load (among his other jobs: chairmanship of the S.C.M. Corp., formerly Smith Corona Marchant). Litchfield leaves with the legislature still debating whether to put privately endowed Pitt under state control and with trustees divided as to what he has actually accomplished. Banker Frank Denton brusquely dismissed his plans as "pipe dreams." But Trustee Chairman Gwilym Price, accepting the resignation, wrote Litchfield: "You have done more for the University of Pittsburgh in a decade than most men could have accomplished...
