Nine Crimson batters came to the plate in the four-run fifth. Bernhard opened the rally with a perfect drag bunt toward first, and Ignacio followed with a double along the left field foul line. Tucker then hit a high bouncer to third that Cleveland fielded but threw wildly to first, allowing the go-ahead runs to score. Obviously tiring, DeWitte hit Cherry on the arm and gave up a single to Nickens to load the bases. Sophomore Dan DeMichele then doubled to short center to wrap up the game for the Crimson...
...George ("Shadow") Morton, 26, is so nicknamed because he is likely to excuse himself from a business conference, ostensibly to go to the men's room, and not be seen again for four days. Raised in Brooklyn, he had "about 40" jobs (bouncer, ice-cream vendor, hairdresser) before launching his record career in 1964 with a hit song that he wrote in twelve minutes (Walking in the Sand).

Ever since it gained independence from France in 1960, the tiny country of 2,300,000 people has regularly tossed out its government during the pre-Christmas season in odd-numbered years. Usually, the man who has served as chief bouncer is a general named Christophe Soglo, 58. Last week, right on schedule, Dahomey had its fourth coup in seven years. This time, it was a total surprise to Soglo, who was himself thrown out as President by a junta of his younger army subordinates...
...been stolen from a Meridian construction company the week before-the judge bundled Price and convicted Defendant Alton Wayne Roberts off to jail without bond. "I'm not going to let any wild man loose on a civilized society," he lectured Roberts. Roberts, a swarthy, former nightclub bouncer, had said earlier that the judge had given a "dynamite charge" to the jury. "Well," Roberts was overheard telling Price, "we've got the dynamite for him ourselves...
