...Pereira agreed with coach Bob Pickett that he should continue; he went on to wrestle his way into the finals of the 167-pound class before losing to Navy's Eastern champion Peter Carey on a 4-1 decision. His second-place finish was the best achieved by a Crimson wrestler in the meet...
Last year, F and M eked out a 15-14 win over Harvard. With veteran 191-pounder Bob Fastov swinging into action--there was no 191-pound match at the tournament or in Harvard's first meet with M.I.T.--and with letterman Jack Mamana filling the big hole at 157 pounds, Harvard has to be favored in the meet. If they win decisively, the Crimson might go on to be a strong contender for the Ivy League title, monopolized by Cornell for years
...because of the lack of citrus and other fresh fruits (the average consumer gets fewer than five oranges a year). With the exception of bread, meal, some baked products and margarine, most foods are rationed.

...engineers' drawing boards. As early as 1909, U.S. Rocket Pioneer Robert Goddard noted that hydrogen (in liquid form, known as LH.,) might prove to be the optimum chemical rocket fuel. Its light molecular weight, less than half that of standard liquid fuels, gives it 35% more thrust per pound. But LH2 begins to boil above -423 °F., and because it is so cold, engineers usually find it too hot to handle. Most metals shiver to pieces when they come in contact with it, and its extreme volatility makes it flash into explosive gas at the gentlest slosh...
Howard Durfee took a quick 8-2 lead over Don Frederickson in a 137-pound bout and then had to hang on as his experienced rival came from behind to make it 8-6 in the last period. But Durfee reassumed command and was ahead 12-6 at the match's end. Brian Conley, undefeated as a freshman last year, used an assortment of leg rides effectively in decisioning Marland Williams 5-3 at 147 pounds...
