...desperate Panthers finally got moving, made a break of their own by recovering a Tech fumble. Quarterback Corny Salvaterra alternated with Fullback Ralph Jelic to roll up yardage. Late in the third quarter Salvaterra scored-still moving the hard way, through the middle of the line. But there was no time to catch up. All autumn long the Panthers had grown fat on heartstopping, last-half rallies. "This time," said Coach Michelosen as he looked at the 21-14 score, "we coughed up the ball once too often...
...build, can accommodate 5,000 people (more than twice the former capacity), and offers a purple-and-cerise tentlike décor that creates a definite harem effect. However, the emphasis is still on good dance music (next attraction: Xavier Cugat); rock-'n'-roll is banned, and Owner Brecker hopes to move on to a whole new type of clientele. The old Roseland was advertised only in the tabloids, but the new establishment will run regular ads in The New Yorker, where, presumably, they will appeal not only to the "poor clerks" but to the college prom trotters...

...legal counsel for International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. and an old Latin American hand. The sum, equal at the present 10,000-to-$1 boliviano rate to nearly double the value of the 140 billion bolivianos now in circulation, should be enough, if carefully fed into the dollar market, to roll the boliviano well back. The experts guess that the boliviano's realistic rate will turn out to be 7,000 or 8,000. But the fund cannot cure the causes of the inflation, and the loan was conditioned on an economic house cleaning. Bolivia agreed to: ¶Stop printing...
