...Twins. If there is little difference in the won-lost records of the two boats, there is even less in their design. Both were drawn by Scotland's David Boyd, 61, whose first twelve was Sceptre, and who is now a sadder but wiser man. Their hulls are the product of months of tank tests, are virtually identical...
...pitcher's duel was in the offing from the beginning, as both teams placed their top hurlers on the mound. Del Rossi, who raised his season's won-lost record to 2-0, has been pitching consistently good ball, and Tufts' lefty Miles Nogelo is the Jumbo's primary pitching hope this season. The Elephants managed to complete only two games on their Southern swing this spring, but Nogelo was outstanding in a four-hit, 3-2 victory over George Washington...
...matter what the answer is, Harvard will win some baseball games this year--the presence of Paul Del Rossi alone assures that. Over two years, the little lefthander has put together the best won-lost mark of any Harvard pitcher since records were first kept 15 years ago. As a sophomore he was 10-1 with a 1.40 earned-run average. Last year the marks were...
When the Cards looked out to the mound next day, there stood Sandy Koufax, No. 1 in the National League in won-lost record (23-5), strikeouts (284) and practically everything else.* The Dodgers' regular rotation called for Koufax to work the last game, but that fell on Rosh Hashana, and Sandy refuses to pitch on Jewish holidays. Alston also started hulking (6 ft. 7 in., 250 Ibs.) Frank Howard despite the fact that Howard was 0-for-19 in St. Louis this season. So naturally Howard crashed a two-run homer, and Koufax needed only 87 pitches...
...COTTON replies: My principal objection to Mr. Wilson as a basketball coach was not his poor won-lost record, but rather the fact that I think playing varsity basketball has become a dissatisfying and frustrating experience under him. The poor record is only one effect of this situation and among the less important ones. I certainly do not think Harvard should attempt to improve its basketball team by recruiting, nor did I imply that it should in my article...
