...only other point scorer for the thinclads was weight thrower Ed Ajootian. His throw of 61 ft. 9 1/4 in. in the 35 lb. weight throw was good for second place behind Southern Connecticut's Wayne Durcigan...
Reporter-style, Trudeau often shows up at Senate hearings, conventions and other news events. Last fall he accompanied President Ford to China, where the cartoonist made diplomatic and aerodynamic history by tossing his Frisbee with NBC Correspondent Tom Brokaw atop the Great Wall.

Quarterback Milt Holt's passing holds they key to the Crimson attack this season. Although a better runner than his predecessor, All-Ivy Jim Stoeckel, Holt isn't quite the calibre passer that Stoeckel was. However, Holt is a better than average thrower and Restic is confident that the senior passer will...
