Coach Bruce Munro got a thorough look at his bench, and to keep matters interesting, Harvard added three goals and three penalty kicks in the second half...

They marched outside the home of County Judge Christ Seraphim and threatened to lay siege to the home of Judge Robert Hansen. At week's end, however, a partial truce was arranged by state officials, and Father Groppi agreed to stay out of Milwaukee's police short suburbs after dark during the Labor Day weekend...
