...feel very happy for Brian Kotz. As happy as I feel disappointed for Derek Lewis," said Restic, referring to Harvard's punter who fumbled two snaps Saturday. The first fumble gave Dartmouth the ball at Harvard's 9-yd. line prior to the goal-line stand and the second, when Lewis fumbled the snap out of the end zone, gave Dartmouth a safety and a 5-3 lead...
...eight runs, drive in five more, hit two homers and steal eight bases in as many tries. On the base paths he drove Blue Jay pitchers nuts. Like Canseco, Henderson is hardly humble. "I'd say I'm the decade's best lead-off man," he declares. "If people feel I'm one of the best who ever played the game, that's nice to hear."

I have enthusiasm and affection and obsession for the music. But I wasn't born with the real equipment for it. I mean, I'm totally eclectic and derivative of the guys I've heard and loved." His one advantage for playing the old-style New Orleans stuff, Woody feels, "is that I am genuinely crude." Another advantage is his ability to reproduce the powerful, wailing tone of the original...
