RUNNING BACK--A bumper crop, led by Cornell tailback Joe Holland, who will undoubtedly win the Asa Bushnell cup for the Ivy player of the year. Harvard's first-rate scooter, Ralph Polillio, joins Holland on the first team at the halfback spot. Brown's Marty Moran weighs in as the first-team fullback, leaving Dartmouth's Jeff Dufresne, Penn's Denis Grosvenor, Yale's Ken Hill and Princeton's Cris Crissy on the second team. (Harvard's P. Wayne Moore makes the all one-game team for his brilliant performance against Columbia for breaking his ankle...
...Bruins to two Stanley Cup titles and then, his knees already battered, went to the Black Hawks in 1976. He was still better than most, but he was not himself. His contract called for a salary of $600,000 a year, yet he had not cashed a single paycheck when he quit last week after seven operations had failed to save his knees. He refused to be paid unless he delivered, and Bobby Orr, like Tunney and Hull, always delivered the best...
...member of Harvard's junior faculty drinks a cup of coffee and sighs. He has earned three Harvard degrees--A.B., A.M., Ph.D.--yet this year he is dividing his time between a half-time teaching position at Harvard and at a small women's college, where he receives under $4000 for preparing two lecture courses and a seminar. Last year he sent applications all over the country for jobs in his or related fields. In his specialty, perhaps three positions opened up; he did not get a job.

Europeans were quick to point out, though, that last week's rebound of the dollar did no more than restore it to its extremely low levels of three weeks ago; it still takes an even dollar, converted into Swiss francs, to buy a cup of coffee in Zurich. Washington has intervened in the exchange markets before and set off momentary dollar rallies, but it has never bought enough bucks for a long enough time to have any lasting effect. And even $30 billion is not much when measured against the $600 billion or more in greenbacks that are floating around...
...plays tennis with Bobby Orr. It is impossible to grow up in Massachusetts and NOT know who Robert Crane is, unless you ignore the sports pages. Golf with Yaz and Jim Ed ever since the 1975 World Series. Fun and games with Orr and Esposito during the Bruins' Stanley Cup years. He has famous and infamous connections (depending on where you bank) with Massachusetts businesses...
