Considering that l.V.S.ers operate mainly in Red-infested provinces, they have been singularly fortunate in losing only two lives at Communist hands so far. One I.V.S.er, Peter Hunting, 24, was murdered from ambush by the Viet Cong in 1965. Another, Fred Cheydleur, 20, a Quaker from Philadelphia, was gunned down last week by Red guerrillas in the Laotian jungle. An expert logger, stonemason and mechanic, Cheydleur was a muscular (5 ft. 11 in., 195 lbs.), compulsively hard-working youth who became a pacifist, according to one of his teachers, "when he discovered his own ability to hurt other boys...

No. 2-ranked Louisville had all it could do to squeeze past Syracuse, 75-71, at the Quaker City Tournament in Philadelphia; and the 8-0 record of No. 6 Cincinnati included three overtimes, four victory margins of two points or less...
...next squad Harvard Ivy leaders faced--looked like a real pushover. "Unbeaten Crimson Should Encounter Few Problems Against Feeble Penn," blared a headline in the CRIMSON. Penn hadn't beaten Harvard since 1958 and in its four straight wins the Crimson had run up 93 points to the Quaker...
