...cellar. Now it appears that only seventh place is at stake since Brown made such an early-season rush for the coveted cellar, emblematic of a school which places scholarship over athletic prowess. Dartmouth, of course, has never finished last. There should be a lot of passing thanks to Poncho Micir, Don Jackson, and all the liquor in the stands, and when everyone finally gets to go home, the winner will be Columbia...

The $50,000 purse went to the Motion Picture and Television Relief Fund, and stars of all styles turned out to draw the crowds.

The master put his hostesses in white stretch pants under taupe chiffon or gold lamé topped by an ermine poncho. Sauciest fillip was a see-through chiffon muumuu worn over a flesh-colored skintight jump suit. And Pierre Cardin exposed his pound of flesh through circular cutouts scattered at strategic points on his dresses -here at the collarbone, there smack dab over the navel.
