Prince William Wins Right to Wear Athletic Badge in Philadelphia
Prince William, son of the former German crown prince, earned the right to wear the sporting badge for athletic skill in swimming and skating at clubs in Philadelphia last week.

Harris dismissed the taunts, saying 38,000 fans would not affect him and that only hostile crowds at home would test him, asserting that background noise would not rattle him in away games.
