Only Frustration. Pasarell needed all the mental muscle he could muster last week. To get into the finals, he had to beat France's Daniel Contet, Britain's Graham Stilwell, Denmark's Torben Ulrich, California's Stan Smith and Graebner. He got by them all. Against Ashe, Pasarell had to use his brain instead of his bomb when he hit a wild streak and could not find the court with his first serve. He switched tactics by easing up, angling his serves wide into the corners, and rushing the net consistently. Time after time, he caught...
There were 13 minutes to go and Brown coach Stan Ward put his squad into a scrambling zone press. This is the defense which has given Harvard fits all year and crushed the Crimson last night against Yale...
...Stanislav Gvoth, alias Stan Mikita (the family name of his aunt and uncle in Ontario, with whom he went to live in 1948), is one of the smallest centers in the N.H.L. -and the best. An acrobatic skater and a slick stickhandler who plays on what Chicago Coach Billy Reay calls his "Scooter Line," Mikita was the league's No. 1 scorer (based on goals and assists) for two seasons running before losing the title last year to his teammate Hull. Mikita should have no trouble winning it back this year. Against the Detroit Red Wings last week...
Although Mikita has been demoralizing enemy goalies for seven years with his deft wrist shots and whistling slap shots, he was widely regarded until this season as a "chippy"-a loudmouth who goaded opponents and officials, deliberately picked fights on the ice. The reputation was costly both to Stan and the Black Hawks: through last season, he averaged 106 minutes a year in the penalty box. Now Mikita has reformed. He has collected only twelve minutes in penalties this year, which accounts in large part for his increased scoring output and the Black Hawks' new success...
Kaleidoscopes & Mini Marvels. In Cleveland, there is another Headquarters shop, this one located in the town's beat and offbeat section on Euclid Avenue, just east of the Western Reserve campus. Owner Stan Heilburn considers his store "a propaganda agency for LSD users, to counter the effects of a bad press." The propaganda works-at least in Ohio: 200 to 300 people press in on weekday nights; weekends, up to a thousand customers clamor for medium-priced trivia, including Yugoslavian pipes ($3.00), and off-beat books and records. "We sell a lot of things that are generally available," concedes...
