...last week. Quaker coach Jim Tupenny said. "Their top five men are as good as, if not better than Harvard's." Although the accuracy of Tupenny's observations have often left something to be desired in the past, Princeton does have two proven runners, seniors Eamon Downey and Rich Stafford. who could challenge Harvard's strong top four...
Princeton did run off seven straight triumphs before the Penn meet, however, with Stafford and Downey splitting the victories between them. If Denny O'Brien and Tom Yunck the Tigers' third and fourth men, can somehow stay close to the leaders the meet could be closer than the Crimson expects...

Clean-shaven, clad in neat, light blue flight overalls (they had changed aboard the helicopter), the astronauts were greeted by cheers from the Princeton's white-suited sailors and the shrill welcoming notes of boatswain's pipes.

On the day before splashdown, the astronauts chalked up a space first. Stafford explained to ground controllers that the crew was about to conduct "scientific experiment Sugar Hotel Alpha Victor Echo"-or SHAVE. NASA had spent $5,000 trying unsuccessfully to perfect a small electric razor with a vacuum attachment that would suck up bristles -which otherwise might float freely and clog up instruments...
