...high spots of the year were more numerous and for the most part came in one of the most successful springs ever seen in Cambridge: the first three quarters of the football game against Princeton, the soccer team's rout of Yale, the basketball team's surprising successes, the destruction of the Ivy League by the hockey team, the squash team's near miss against Yale, and the consistent wins of the track team. The spring saw one success after another by the Eastern championship baseball and tennis teams, Joel Landau's astounding victories in leading the track team...

Rojtman, who merged his American Tractor Corp. with Case in January 1957, demonstrated his sales flair last fall with a $1,000,000 circus. He airlifted nearly 4,000 farmers and dealers to Phoenix, Ariz, to unveil the "1960 Case-O-Matic Line," lashed his tractors stern to stern with competitors' models to show how they could outpull them.
