Cornell coach Bob Blackman is another Ivy replace 20 of his 22 starters. For this reason alone, Cornell cannot be considered anything more than a dark horse to finish in the top half of the League. "In 35 years of coaching I've never had so few returning starters. We lost 20 starters and 35 seniors. In many positions we lost our two top players," Blackman said last week. The Big Red has, in addition, lost several key players to pre-season injuries including three of the top four quarterback candidates. "As for quarterbacks, I very honestly have no idea...

...quite whistling in the dark. But the high spirits at 30,000 ft. as Air Force One carried Ronald Reagan and his top aides away from a balmy vacation in the West and back toward the duties of running the Government from Washington seemed out of sync with the stiff challenges ahead.

GARMENT INDUSTRY. Throughout New York City, the center of American garment manufacturing, the kind of horrid sweatshop common in the early 1900s is flourishing anew. In Chinatown lofts, Queens garages and South Bronx storefronts, workers toil from dawn until well past dark sewing pants, shirts and blouses for as little as 8? apiece. The rooms are often dimly lit and poorly ventilated. In many cases, huge rolls of cloth block fire exits. The workers range from the young to the very old.
