...quantify Nyamekye’s contributions, it is obvious that he is the anchor of the defense. Late in the second half of Saturday’s game, Fairfield was able to send a through ball up the middle to forward David Piedrahita.

One provision of the treaty, however, is that those republics that refuse to sign will be governed by "existing legislation of the U.S.S.R., mutual obligations and agreements."
