...freshman team to give added depth. But while the sextet won the Ivy League and eventually went to Minneapolis, it did not live up to its advance notices. In such games as the 5-4 loss to Northeastern and the 4-4 tie with Dartmouth, the Crimson played slow, sloppy hockey and looked like anything but a championship team. Even in most of its wins, many Watson Rink fans had the feeling that the sextet was playing only as hard as it needed to and no harder. Nevertheless, the Crimson did compile a 16 and 3 record, Captain Bob Cleary...
...that Iraq's oil and river-bottom lands will bring to the new Federation, it will have advantages of common frontiers and racial ties that Nasser's union conspicuously lacks. But Iraq is not keen to share its wealth with barren Jordan, and the Federation has been slow getting started. Iraq's King Feisal, 23, and his cousin Hussein. 22, of Jordan will both keep their crowns and the federal Parliament and Cabinet, controlling foreign and defense policies, will meet alternately in Baghdad and Amman.

...matadors have been gored in the groin, where the horn often severs the femoral artery-the kind of wound that killed the great Manolete in 1947 in Linares, far from Don Luis's aid.

Don Luis has perfected a method of applying pressure to the lower belly, just below the point where the femoral arteries branch off. To let the wounds heal, he uses another technique of his own: draining them through the muscles. Though he has a private practice, Don Luis...
...destroys one or more Grus americana. The most immediate problem facing the whooping crane is unfolding at the Audubon Park Zoo in New Orleans, where Josephine, a splendid female whooper, has just laid two eggs (referred to as a "clutch"). Since breeding wild in west-central Canada is a slow and dubious process at best, zoo breeding is a major hope of whooping crane lovers. It has been discovered that if the clutch is stolen, the female crane will lay another, and repeat the process again after a second theft...
