Though Hollingsworth fumbled the ball away on the next series, the Crimson defense held Dartmouth and forced a punt, a play that became this week's oddity. Larry Margerum fumbled the snap on the kick and booted the ball off the stadium turf, watching his drop-kick roll dead at the Harvard one. But the Hanover celebration ended when the officials ruled the punt illegal and gave Harvard a first and ten at the Dartmouth...
Though higher interest rates are bound to crimp housing, pinch installment loans, and put a drag on sales of big-ticket items like cars, which are normally bought on credit and not with cash, most economists continue to agree that the economy is not about to drop into a free-fall plunge as it did after the oil-price shocks of 1973 and 1974. For the most part, the members of TIME'S Board of Economists predict a moderately deeper recession than envisioned in their earlier forecasts of September; but they foresee no economic tailspin, in part because the strength...
...Eckstein, a master of computerized forecasting who runs his own company. "They are finally jamming on the brakes, having done too little for a long time." But late as the switch is, Eckstein believes, "it's going to work. The chances are the inflation rate, currently 13.1%, will drop below 9% by February."

...these are terrible tortures, slavery and stinging! In a beautiful landscape, among flowers and calm rural prospects, the beekeeper and his bees struggles with one another in loveless arrangements. Every day the bees fly thousands of miles in his service, and each one makes a drop of honey. He is their master, the owner of their product from the moment it is created. But there is no stability in this arrangement, because it is unnatural. They may decide in an instant to swarm away, or kill him with their stings, or both...
...rest of the first stanza Rhode Island controlled midfield and kept Harvard hemmed into their own half. Taking advantage of Harvard goalie Billy Blood's short drop kicks and the belowpar play of Crimson mid-fielders Michael Smith and Andy Kronfeld, Rhode Island mounted several attacks. Only Blood's acrobatics in the net kept the visitors off the scoreboard. Blood raced repeatedly out of the goalmouth to smother dangerous crosses and soft shots. At 41:15 he made a miraculous save with a full length dive to block a low shot a yard off the foot of a URI forward...
