Bill Tighe, veteran righthander who gained fame two years ago when he pitched a no-hitter in his first mound appearance, will start for the Terriers. A slender senior from Ashland, he finished the 1948 season with 30 straight scoreless innings...
Sounds Impractical. Last week, a Carnegie Hall audience got to hear just how much further tall, slender Composer Mennin had advanced. In picking his symphonic form, he had tried something that even Beethoven had never attempted until he was past 50 and had eight great symphonies to his credit. Mennin's Fourth, "The Cycle," was an ambitious choral symphony in which he worked out the chorus in all three movements instead of just the last (as Beethoven did in his Ninth).

Bloom, now a slender 36, began studying painting at a community center in West End Boston. Since then he has kept at his art steadily, selling no paintings at first, indifferent to poverty.

She was on the tall side, slender, rather tanned: olive-brown of skin with a wonderful smoothness to it ... Her eyes had the tint of black glass . . ." Presently he discovers that Selene is a half-breed, that her father is a rich trader living near Aaron's Mission of Bois des Morts in Minnesota. When he gets there, Aaron finds how much there is to do before...
