...Gordon will represent the Crimson in a special 500-yard race, in which the entries are restricted to present college undergraduates. Gordon will get stiffer competition from Yale's Bob Skerritt, Basil Ince of Tufts (a scorer in last spring's N.C.A.A. championship), and Rudy Smith of Bates...
...Twirling Dials, $40. The tariff was stiffer in Bryan, where Mrs. Keene complained of headache and stomachache. There, Naturopath Charles Moore told her she still had diphtheria toxins in her throat from a childhood attack, that she also had colitis; her spleen, pancreas and liver were not working right; she was anemic and her pulse was too slow. He sold her special foods for $9, and for the examination (done by twiddling the dials of a machine that looked like a short-wave radio) he charged...

To stop the drilling, they lined up for battle against the oilmen, and even against Alaska conservationists who wanted to throw open all Kenai for exploration. The Interior Department moved to pacify the lobbyists.

The Fish and Wildlife Service will demand guarantees that the oilmen protect the moose by routing their roads around rather than through the moose land, by keeping oil from wells from polluting the marshes. Oilmen are expected to accept these conditions, and the stiffer leasing rules.

The Cadets are a well-coached, well-conditioned team, which can play just as strongly at the end of a match as it can at the beginning. They will be the first real test of the varsity's ability, and, although the Crimson will probably win handily, its performance should give an indication of what is in store for the rest of the year...
