...FAUVES, by Jean-Paul Crespelle (365 pp.; New York Graphic Society; $25). The 100 color plates in this superb collection are by far the best reproductions offered this year, and it is fitting that they should be, since shocking, vibrant use of color was what earned the school of Les Fauves (The Wild Beasts) its name. The painters are Matisse, Rouault, Derain, Braque, Dufy...

...Bassett next year will probably be second only to Gary Wood of Cornell in consistency and team contribution. If he can avoid the early-injury fate of Charlie Ravenel and Ted Halaby the Crimson will have experienced, dependable leadership. Bill Grana returns at fullback, giving Harvard at least one superb runner and blocker. Stan Yastrzemski should be an adequate replacement for senior fullback Fred Barti on the second team...
