This year's donations figure may turn out to be "the worst in the history of the Harvard Blood Drive," Miss Lee Grace, Director of the Cambridge Blood Program, said yesterday. Drive officials expect no more than 500 pints, 40 per cent less than last year's record...
...dinner, a happy occasion for Ulen, who has been immobilized recently with bursitis, was a fitting finale to the career of a man who led his teams to an overall 225-44 record. The mentor, who came to Harvard from Syracuse in 1929, is the fourth man ever to coach swimming in collegiate circles for more than 40 years...
...Crimson freshmen's loss in the first race of the afternoon prevented the lightweights' continuing last years' record of sweeping five straight regattas without losing a race.

Cornell, Harvard and M.I.T. finished in 7:45, 7:46.2, and 8:01, respectively...

Less than an hour later, he came back to take the two-mile, leaving Cadet Dick Greene far behind and setting a new Harvard and Shea Stadium record of 9:08.5.
