...basketball team. The Huskies usually have a winning season. In 1962 and 1963 they won the NCAA small-college regional championship. Last year they had a 13-11 record and were the NCAA runner-up. While Harvard basketball teams have historically looked like beaten-up $2000 candidates for the glue factory, they almost beat Northeastern.

They smeared lipstick on sunburn blisters and swollen lips, discovered some wax crayons and a pot of glue (made from milk products) among their luggage and fed them to the children. They cooled their faces with urine-soaked clothes, and buried themselves neck-deep in sand to escape the scorching air. They had just abandoned hope when a rescue party arrived...
