...straw poll of 1763 undergraduates taken yesterday by the Harvard Young Republicans, Lindsay received 77 per cent of the vote, Beame received 9 per cent, and Buckley received 14 per cent.

Under a plurality, only the strongest of CCA candidates might survive (Crane, who has city-wide support, for example), but those...

Texas was ranked No. 1 in one national poll, No. 2 in the other. Arkansas was No. 3 in both. Texas Coach Darrell Royal, whose only loss in his past 26 games was to Arkansas, was so nervous that he closed his practice field to visitors. Arkansas was riding a 16-game winning streak, longest in major college football. On a Fayette ville...
