Princeton's doubles sweep added humility to defeat. Doubles has traditionally been the strongpoint of Harvard tennis; last season the Crimson topped Princeton at all three positions...
Meanwhile, pulsar theories continued to proliferate beyond the pulsating neutron-star and white-dwarf-star theories first suggested by Cambridge astronomers. Princeton Astrophysicist Jeremiah Ostriker suggested that the signals might be caused by rapidly rotating white dwarfs with a local disturbance on their surfaces. Signals from the disturbance would sweep across the earth like a lighthouse beacon once during each rotation of such a star. British Astrophysicists Fred Hoyle and J. Narlikar propose that the signals are connected with supernovas, or exploding stars...
...Several scientists have theorized that the pulses may be caused by white dwarf or neutron stars rotating rapidly around each other in a binary system; any particles passing through the rotating and intense magnetic field that must exist between the two stars would produce strong radiation that would periodically sweep the earth. Others have suggested that the intense gravity of a star in such a binary system would act as a lens, periodically intensifying and focusing the radiation from the twin star passing behind...
Harvard jumped off to an early lead on a sweep in the two-mile run and a one-two finish by Jon Enscoe and Dave Pottetti in the mile. Victories by Ben Lounsbury and Chris Alvord in the 440 hurdles and the 220-yard dash boosted the Crimson total...
...Princeton came back with a one-two-three sweep in the pole vault and another sweep in the 440-yard run, with ailing freshman captain John Gillis taking fourth...
