Slumping Yale trailed Connecticut 6-0 going into the final period at Yale Bowl, but an option pass and a run, both by halfback Cal Hill, pulled out a 14-6 win. The Elis had a surprisingly tough time putting down an intrastate rival over which it holds as 18-1 edge. Quarterback Greg Lawler had trouble moving his team, but injured signalcaller Brian Dowling. Yale's only apparent hope for this season, appeared on the sidelines in uniform, sans cast. When he will be able to play is an important mystery...
...people gather around government-printed posters that show the downcast faces of men who have been executed for antirevolutionary activity. Other posters attack Chiang Kaishek, Lyndon Johnson and Mao's archrival, President Liu Shao-chi; some attack Mao himself.

...East Germany rebuffs Kiesinger's newest gesture, the Socialists will be hurt, since rapprochement with the East is just about their only issue that Kiesinger has not entirely usurped. Their policy has already caused the party to split into rival cliques in the traditional Socialist stronghold of West Berlin. A far-left group wants West Berlin to become a neutral "bridge" between East and West, while others maintain that West Berlin must remain committed to the West for protection. Caught in between the two factions, Mayor Heinrich Albertz, 52, who was Brandt's successor, last week found himself...
