Bittner ran the 1000 Saturday, but lost to Crimson Colburn who defeated him with a superb tactical race. If Bittner should again challenge Colbur instead of running the mile, coach Bill McCurdy will put Shaw in the 1000 to give Harvard a first and second place threat in that event over Yale...
...four relay runners had performed well in earlier events. Colburn eased through his afternoon trial in the 1000, then ran a superb tactical race to nip Yale's Steve Bittner in the finals. Starting last, the redheaded junior gradually worked his way up to second place. With 200 yards to go, he burst past Bittner un-expectedly and held off a last-ditch challenge to snap the wire...
HAVING documented life in Newark and New York, in the process establishing himself as a superb social satirist (though, admittedly, the satire of late has been diluted by too much detail and conversation), Roth has now written his first exclusively introspective novel.

The direction, though, by Michael Murray, was superb. The first act and a half--free of the play's pathos--is a streamlined French farce, wittily delivered and swiftly played...
