Before coach George Ford substituted the unknown Nelson into the game midway through a boring first half, the play had wandered back and forth and was somewhat sloppy. Ho hum, Crimson goalie Fred Herold had made three or four great saves, but that was to be expected of the talented junior. Chris Saunders was moving the ball well behind the Harvard forward line, but few solid scoring chances developed. The crisp passing game Ford would like to see from his players had, for the most part, turned a bit soggy...
...course, the 1976 campaign began a long time ago, for politicians and journalists alike. Reporter-Researchers Eileen Chiu and Anne Hopkins have been busy with the rush of political events since early spring. For Washington Correspondent Dean Fischer, who has switched back and forth over G.O.P. turf this year, the campaign has been a mixed affair.

The current drop could end the seesawing, but the betting on Wall Street is against it. What analysts are beginning to call the "Ford-Carter market" will provide investors with rich new opportunities...
Dozens of subtle influences-investors' perceptions of who wins or loses the television debates between Ford and Carter, the candidates' standings in the polls-will push the market back and forth through the campaign. Republican Wall Street does not fear Carter, but it would like Ford to win; above all, it would like to know the outcome. Says William W. Helman, chairman of the investment committee of Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co.: "There's a greater amount of uncertainty now about who is going to win, and the market doesn't like uncertainty."
