CHAPEL HILL, N.C., March 28--Yale's powerful swimming team received a slight jolt in the first event of the 34th NCAA Championships here last night. Michigan's Fritz Myers pulled even with the Elis' Ray Ellison at the three-quarters mark in the 1500-meter freestyle, then stroked on to upset the Eastern champion in 19:04.8. This ties the Tar Heel Pool record set in 1949 by N. Heusner of North-western...
Although the road company lacks some of the sparkle of the original cast, which for the most part is still playing in New York, they put the show over with considerable verve and finesse. Ralph Lowe plays the lead in suitable all-American-boy style. As Applegate, alias Mephistopheles, Ray Walston is properly sardonic and fast-paced. Devra Korwin, who handles the part of the standard siren played by Gwen Verdon on Broadway, is the major sex interest of the show. As a dancer, she is expert, but as a singer she is better to look at than to listen...

Matter of Time. For all his firsts in heart surgery, Charles Bailey is the first to admit the difficulty of proving the results of coronary operations. He is impatiently awaiting delivery of an X-ray machine which will take pictures at 1/500 sec. and, with radiopaque dyes, will show precisely where and how extensively a coronary artery is blocked-or unblocked. This will make it possible to judge with far more accuracy how much good an operation has done. Thanks to the prospects of such machines, surgeons who have so far held aloof from coronary disease are now showing interest...
...wind screamed and the rain beat and the lightning felled a great branch on a cow, a mother of fighting bulls. By sheer might of instinct, the valiant beast survived long enough to drop her bull calf and to bellow until help came. It was a small boy (Michel Ray), the son of a Mexican vaquero, who found the hungry black buster where he wailed indignantly in the cold and wet, and carried him back to finish his first night in a warm bed. Gitano (gypsy) the boy called him. The two were inseparable, but very little else was safe...
