...shoot, the tourist bureau tots up the value of game shot, and the hunter forks over. In the Koprivnica area of Yugoslavia last spring, a Düsseldorf status seeker shelled out $12,500 for a 660-lb. European brown bear. That was just a warmup; Koprivnica gamekeepers are carefully pampering an even bigger bruin for the same hunter to pot this fall-at a cost of $15,000. A run-of-the-hill red stag costs about $350 in Yugoslavia, but a Swiss hunter who was lucky-or unlucky-enough to bag a "world class" stag got socked with...
There he was, looking like a refugee from the House of David in his bushy black beard. "I have bad control," Fidel Castro apologized to the catcher as he lobbed a few warmup pitches across the plate for dear old Oriente province. And covering second base was brother Raúl, head of Cuba's armed forces. Then it was batter-up, and whiff-whiff-whiff, the boys were breaking their backs trying to hit that roundhouse curve.

...Quite Right. That was just the warmup. Russia's incomparable Valery Brumel won the high jump as expected, but broke no records at 7 ft. 3½ in. The cheers were for Dallas Long, who put together the greatest series of shot-puts anyone is likely to see for years; four straight times he lobbed the 16-lb. shot farther than his own world record of 66 ft. 3½ in., one put going 67 ft. 10 in., then walked off muttering that he did not quite "feel right." In the pole vault, Fred Hansen reset the world record...
...good warmup for a match Saturday in which the Crimson faces an invading Princeton team that hasn't lost a match in its last 38. The Tigers, unbeaten this season, ended Miami's 137-match winning streak during vacation. Since coming north, no Princeton player has lost a singles match...
...general, Welland expects to go with his usual lines but will probably be using the game as a warmup for the Beanpot Tourney which begins Monday night in the Boston Garden. Unfortunately, if the Crimson is pointing, too much towards its Beanpot opener and neglects the business at hand Saturday night, it may find another blot on, its fine record in Watson Rink...
