...over and the results have been numbing, to say the least. Three of the fourteen lettermen (John Tyson, Dan Wilson, and Will Stargel), all seniors, all vital to a successful season, are suddenly out of the picture. Four other key players--Richie Szaro, John Ignacio, Fritz Reed, and Tony Smith--will miss the entire practice campaign, and conceivably much of the regular season. Many minor injuries to inconspicuous players, routinely bother-some in previous years, take on great significance when compounded with the loss of so many expected starters. At several positions (most dangerously at offensive tackle and defensive...
Aside from the helpful position changes, there have been few other pluses for Yovicsin. Quarterback is still a serious question mark, but top man George Lalich has at least stayed healthy, and Dave Smith has earned the number two spot among the four original candidates. The defensive front five--ends Pete Hall and Steve Ranere, tackles Steve Zebal and Lonny Kaplan,and middle guard Alex Maclean--and the linebacking with lettermen John Emery and Gerry Marino remain strong and may well be the key to any Harvard victories...
...junior. Because of a summer knee injury, the plan to move Stargel from halfback to end this season has been shelved. He is trying to strengthen his knee now in the hope that he can get by without an operation, and eventually help out at halfback.

WALL Street for years has escaped what it dreads most: a serious attack on its integrity. Last week, when just such a blow fell, it landed where it really hurt. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission accused Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., the world's largest and best-known brokerage house, of practicing fraud and deceit by misusing inside information. Even though Merrill Lynch immediately protested its innocence, the charges by their very nature can only tarnish Wall Street's zealously nurtured image. That image is of a market where 24 million investors can trade...
...Herbert Hoover who promised "a chicken in every pot," for example. The phrase was used in a 1928 G.O.P. campaign flyer, and was perpetuated as a Hooverism after Al Smith seized upon it for an ironic, scoffing attack. In any event, the term originated with France's King Henry IV (1553-1610), a champion phrasemaker of his day. He observed: "I wish there would not be a peasant so poor in all my realm who would not have a chicken in his pot every Sunday." Henry was also the three-centuries-removed ghostwriter for James G.
