Quaint as that query may sound to an American, the impending shutdown of the venerable Times and Sunday Times of London is no footling affair to an Englishman. The gloom among Britain's Establishment could be as thick as suet pudding if the Times (circ. 293,000)-the nation's newspaper of record and the favorite forum of impassioned letter writers -suspends publication this week, as now seems likely.

The sophomore from Chatham repelled 45 Cornell shots in the contest, and for two periods shutdown the Big Red, which had averaged eight goals a game in its previous 12 games...
