...NOTEBOOK Harvard shot 44 4 percent against Columbia, going eight for 14 in the first half and then cooling off to a dismal eight-for-22 in the second. Fleming's 27 point performance was his third straight over 25... Columbia's offense picked up whopping 17 assists, as the Lions moved the ball well throughout the game...

Even veteran observers were shocked by the magnitude of the walloping administered to O'Neill by former governor Michael s. Dukakis and Gov. Edward J. king. Though acknowledging before the caucuses that Dukakis would probably pull in a large majority, O'Neill's camp hoped for a respectable share, perhaps even to best king, who all along had belittle the caucuses and had never officially organized for then.
