...varsity basketball team takes on the Yale Bulldogs for the second time in four days tonight in the I.A.B. and, although the Crimson is sunk irredeemably in sixth place, the game is vital to the Elis' Ivy League fortunes. Tip-off will...

Fiberglas hull, Chris-Craft's "sail yacht" is powered by a hefty 60-h.p. engine that gives it a cruising speed of six or seven knots. In cabins...
