Harvard swabbed in a regular season match at The Country Club, but the Crimson quintet walked the plank on Thursday, with dismal rounds of 82, 82, 86, 92 and 92, which took them out of contention despite a better showing on Friday. Dartmouth finished second with a team total of 654 strokes, followed by Holy Cross, URI and UMass...
Radcliffe lacrosse coach Debi Field is happy today. Following a dismal 5-1 drumming at the hands of Penn--a team the 'Cliffe beat last spring--the laxwomen traveled to Bowdoin yesterday and came away with convincing victories in both the varsity (8-1) and J.V. (3-1) games...
...sure, a little electrical object that is expected to last for years may cost no more, pace President Carter, than a no-martini lunch for two. Yet the metal, unlike the meal, is an acquired object deserving of respect, even affection. It is a dismal comment on American society that our whifflers and wopplers and slicers and sizzlers seem so often to be designed for the junk heap. Most of the major manufacturers claim to stand by their products, as do, slightly reeling, the repairmen who can cope with them. Still, they don't make'em like they...
Today, his union's fortunes are dismal. With 194,000 active members, and 90,000 retirees to represent (peak membership: 600,000 in 1946), the U.M.W. is badly wounded. Three of the four pension and medical-benefit trust funds are broke. The union, which owns more than 75% of the National Bank of Washington (assets: $682 million), real estate in the capital and a Western fuel company, may have to sell some of its holdings. Perhaps most troubling of all, the U.M.W. is in a state of near anarchy, having overwhelmingly rejected its leadership's call to ratify...
Cornell's first-half performance gave no inkling of the game's eventual outcome; it had only scored 24 points after 17 minutes and could only total 31 for the entire half thanks to a dismal .385 shooting percentage and some tough Harvard defense. Harvard didn't play much better offensively, tallying only 39 points for the half. Worse was the fact that Banks and Fine had drawn three fouls apiece. Coach Frank McLaughlin was forced to keep Banks, the game's top rebounder with ten, and Fine, the team's playmaker, languishing on the bench...
