Finlay Lewis, now the Washington bureau chief for the Minneapolis Tribune and a journalist who has covered Mondale for a decade, goes a long way toward unraveling the mystery of the Minnesota Fritz.

Her book, based on the thesis, is being published by the Cambridge University Press. Stern added that...
...Fritz Campbell, Crimson 134-pounder, returned to his winning ways with a 15-7 pummelling of Minuteman Greg Johnson. Some late season tutoring under Coach Johnny Lee seems to have the Crimson freshman keeping a safe distance from the single-leg takedown which has plagued him most of the season...
