...band of Simbas lay in ambush along the road leading into Poko, a small missionary town in the rebel re doubt of the upper Congo. Through "the jungle telephone," an advancing column of white mercenaries learned of the trap, cut through the bush and entered the town from the rear. As their skirmish line entered Poko, the whites were surprised to see the Simbas rush toward them jubilantly, their right arms raised in the rebel salute and shouting the rebel yell of "Mai Mulele!"

...Holiday is bound to be controversial. Ever since Leonardo da Vinci proposed one in 1500, men have been designing vehicles with front wheels that provide the traction or driving power, rear wheels that merely go along .for the ride.

"This is wonderful, wonderful!" shouted Protest Leader Mario Savio, 21, a red-haired philosophy student, just before police took him away. Girls were carted off to the city jails; boys were hauled to the Santa Rita prison farm, where tough criminals in blue denims watched dumfounded as guitar-laden, bearded...
With defenseman Chip Scammon side-lined tonight with a virus, Pres Wolcott will probably join John Daly, Bob Clark, and Bob Coleman in Harvard's rear guard. Although the defense is the strongest part of this year's team, it had trouble Wednesday in clearing the puck from the fast and bruising Northeastern forwards. But Daly and Clark both proved themselves excellent body-checkers last year, and should be able to handle most comers...
