Crimson coach Frank McLaughlin--who, in spite of a ruptured disc in his back, gyrated impressively along the sideline all game--was dissatisfied with the defeat but not overly critical of his squad. "I think other teams have been playing well against us," McLaughlin said, nothing that the Minutemen shot 57 per cent against Crimson defense. "Each game we're improving on certain phases. It's a tough thing, as a coach you want to say we're playing badly and losing...
...Million Tube Job. The investment RCA made in the videodisc machine and the amount it stands to lose if the discs do not catch on. The disc machine, unlike the tape, cannot copy; it can only play.

The atmosphere is just right for those final moments of reflection on past romance...

In freezing and windy November weather, the disc flingers lost a close match to Central Connecticut, 13-11, and suffered a humiliating 13-2 defeat to UMass in the second game of the tournament, which took place in Amherst...
