Harvard trackmen accounted for six first places to cop the unofficial team championship in the 43rd annual Knights of Columbus meet held Saturday at the Boston Garden. Crimson captain Dick Benka led an impressive sweep of the three afternoon field events, and the runners matched this with two individual wins and a relay victory. Junior Keith Colburn clipped more than a second from the University record in taking second place in the Cardinal Cushing 1000-yard...
Under the aptly named chief of its Public Security group, William Gunn, Bangor Punta is rapidly becoming the Abercrombie & Fitch of law and order.

Mr. Hardcastle (Ed Etsten), the lord of the manor, must be given the dubious honor of a lifetime membership in Santa's Village. He tries so hard to be elfishly cop any winning that I'm sure his boundless energy will result in a heart attack along about the third night of the play's run--somewhat in the manner of the late Pinky...
