Muscatine and Thal played a strong top doubles match to win 6-2, 7-6 over Awad and Avery Hughes. Muscatine and Thal will be Radcliffe's brightest hopes in the Ivy (and Seven Sisters) Tournament to be held at Vassar this weekend. Last year the duo stormed through the field only to lose to a strong Princeton pair in the finals of the tournament...
...York and joined the OSS. He took part in the planning of the Italian invasion, went ashore with the assault forces at Anzio and rose to colonel. Son Jim had meanwhile entered Harvard Law School and married Cicely d'Autremont of Tucson, Ariz., a junior at Vassar. He was called up in 1943, put through basic training and also assigned to OSS and sent to Italy.

It ran through "Revival" and into "Blue Skies" and when Duane was killed broke out into the album Brothers and Sisters with "Ramblin' Man" and "Jessica" and "Pony Boy." For his solo album he picked up fiddler Vassar Clements (the best) and an old pedal steel player of Dolly Parton's, and some of the Allmans, to produce Highway Call. All together it's the finest collection of road music--sounds to drive by, preferably for long distances--ever assembled...
...than Harvard and more than doubled Harvard's participation rate (56 per cent). Several other women's institutions have considerably higher participation rates and nearly as high an average donation per year as Harvard. None of the private men's colleges come close to approaching these figures. Vassar, which only recently went coed, ranks among the highest in alumni gifts to annual fund and total alumni gifts for private coed colleges--despite the fact that the relatively young male graduates have had little or no significant impact on fund raising there...
