Don Schol- lander, swimming in the last dual meet of his college career, was the least of Harvard's worries as he won the 500 freestyle with a relatively slow 4:50.6.

Even when air support came in, Communist artillery made the most of the low-flying weather: in 446 sorties by U.S. helicopters, Communist guns scored strikes against no fewer than 60. Said Lieut.
