...Elis and Tigers are undefeated in regular meets, but both are weak in areas which Harvard can easliy capitalize on. While Princeton can tally points in field events, it is no threat in the races. Yale, on the other hand, has several strong distance and sprint runners...
Cruel Irony. The ABM Sentinel system is a "thin shield" designed to protect U.S. cities from Red Chinese intercontinental ballistic missiles. Incoming warheads would be intercepted by Spartan missiles outside the earth's atmosphere. If any got through, back-up Sprint missiles would be launched to catch them seconds before they reached their target. The Pentagon contends that the resulting blast would be negligible, but radioactive fallout would be a danger. Critics argue that the Chinese will still not be a serious threat in the 1970s and that the $5 billion Sentinel network is the first step toward...
...poor 45-ft. Hin. shotput ("That really depressed me") and a disappointing 6-ft. 4¾-in. high jump dropped him to second behind East Germany's Joachim Kirst.

Meanwhile, the value of European-owned plants and equipment on U.S. soil is rising sharply. The total crept up from $2.2 billion in 1950 to $7 billion last year, will sprint to $10 billion this year.

Dick Jurgens, still in bad condition after a recent foot injury, finished strongly to grab sixth place in 16:40. Newly elected freshman captain Andy Meltzoff used his blistering kick to overtake two B.C. runners for seventh. Rick Barton was only seven seconds behind, but began his sprint too late and had to settle for eleventh. Phil Liechtenstein and Jake Seniuk rounded out the Harvard scoring with thirteenth and fourteenth places...
