...victory over defending title-holder Princeton provided a new chapter for Great Harvard Sports Stories. The match literally boiled down to the final point, as fifth-spotted sophomore Chip Robie--rebounding from a three-day illness--edged Tiger Jason Fish in the decisive fifth game by a narrow 15-13 margin. Seniors John Stubbs at number three and Bob Blake at number eight also collected five-game triumphs...

Japan's ten largest chip makers plan in 1980 to spend $610 million, vs. $476 million last year, to boost production. While American firms have shipped much of their semiconductor production to countries where labor is inexpensive and work can be done by hand, the Japanese are putting money and expertise into automation.
