...effort to stop the unscientific bickering that has raged for years over scientific evidence linking heavy cigarette smoking to lung cancer, four prestigious organizations* set up a seven-man study group. Chairman: the University of Wisconsin's Biochemist Frank M. Strong. Last week the group's findings were out.

Between halves, Daugherty had time to reshuffle his forces. When they took the field again, Duffy's Spartans threw a seven-man line at Michigan's tiring Wolverines.

Observers were impressed with the seamanship, even though such homestretch finesse was no longer necessary-the broad-beamed little centerboard yawl had won the Newport-to-Bermuda race (on corrected time) by 11¼ minutes, the smallest yacht ever to win the Atlantic classic. It had been a rough, squally...
