Beckett broke his wrist late in the first period and will be out of action for six weeks. The injury came after Beckett set up Morse's tying goal at 8:01. He skated onto the boards and flipped a slow pass to Morse, who was at the edge of the crease directly in front of Northeastern goalie John Bishop. Morse casually slipped the puck into the nets...
...year-old French Communist roughneck named Roger Riou battled cops in the streets. Thrown into reform school, seemingly incorrigible, he soon taught the Marxist gospel to 100 other inmates and then led them in an unsuccessful attempt to escape. That episode landed him in solitary confinement, manacled wrist and ankle. Last week, on Haiti's Ile de la Tortue (Turtle Island), Roger Riou was no longer fighting cops. Instead, he was ministering to the people's spiritual needs and physical ailments. The ex-kid brawler is now a Roman Catholic priest as well as a physician...

Neutralist Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma canceled the important bad ceremony, in which Buddhist priests were to tie a lucky string around Abramov's wrist.

Brigitte's periodically estranged husband, Cinemactor Jacques Charrier, far off on the other side of Southern France, in Biarritz, where he had gone after their latest spat, jumped in a car to drive to her side. At week's end the aging "Sex Kitten" of French moviedom...
FIELDING. Both teams have good infields, although Pittsburgh's is a shade better because of the fine double-play combination of Second Baseman Bill Mazeroski and Shortstop Dick Groat, who claims that his broken left wrist has mended. In the outfield, the Yankees' weak link is Leftfielder Hector Lopez, who not only has a poor arm but stirs prayer in the breast of Manager Casey Stengel every time he wanders after a fly ball. Behind the plate, both the Yankees' Yogi Berra and Elston Howard have arms strong enough to discourage any base-stealing ambitions...
