...Hank Holte did most of the home team's scoring. Aside from his second to Pringle, Kaany churned to first in the 160 yard individual medley, while Holt listed a win in the 220 freestyle and a third in the 440. For the third straight year, Springfield's Pritchard Poirer outshone Harvard's Rio Johnson in the dive. Former Yardling aoe Jerry Lewy trailed Johnson, who had placed second only to all-time Crimson great Frank Gorman in the Yale meet last year...
...village stands on an oval man-made mound, and the experts think that it may cover Gibeon, an ancient city whose inhabitants, according to the Book of Joshua, made a deal with the invading Israelites and so were not slaughtered, only enslaved. For four years, Professor James B. Pritchard of Church Divinity School of the Pacific, whose passion is checking the historical accuracy of the Old Testament, dug at el-Jib. He found many interesting things, including the pool of Gibeon, a well where the men of David fought the men of Saul.* He proved by inscriptions that the town...
Last week Dr. Pritchard told how he found positive proof of Gibeon's great age. After the University of Pennsylvania expedition that he headed had a spell of unfruitful digging, an Arab woman named Umm Azzat offered to sell him two old pots.

Pritchard was relieved from duty after Thor Thors, Iceland's Ambassador to the U.S., called on the State Department to talk over the latest "incident" to rag sensitive Icelandic tempers. Ambassador Thors put it plainly: Icelanders were hopping mad because a U.S. sentry forced two of their people to lie on wet ground at the NATO Airbase in Keflavik while he called a sergeant to check their credentials...
...Pritchard, 44, a World War II fighter pilot and commander of the 49th Bomber Wing in Korea (Silver Star, D.F.C., Air Medal with twelve oakleaf clusters), was assigned to Iceland only two months ago, and was actually out of the country when the latest blowup happened. Both State and Defense Departments agreed that he had done a good job on his short tour, that his personal competence was not in question, but that the overriding consideration was a happy Iceland, where U.S. troops and the somewhat diffident Icelanders could get along together. Moreover, with the Communists offering a challenge...
