Nonetheless, they expect the last mission to be the most scientifically productive. In Scientist-Astronaut Harrison Schmitt, they will finally have the services of a professional geologist on the moon. The Taurus-Littrow landing site contains what may be small, volcanically created cinder cones; they seem to be miniature versions of earthly features like Honolulu's Diamond Head. The cones may well be remnants of what NASA Geochemist Robin Brett calls "some of the last belches of lunar activity before the moon turned off." Finally, Apollo 17 planners have scheduled a program of experiments and observation far more sophisticated...

...Harrison refused to comment Sunday on why he called off practice. He said only, "We have reasons for what we do." However, reliable sources have indicated that he cancelled practice to reward the team for what he considered a fine effort against the Chiefs. Unfortunately Harvard still did not play good defense against Springfield. The Crimson gave up 98 points, allowing 34 of them to forward Ken Lewis. The Crimson proved that they can put the ball in the hoop, but they still committed 34 turnovers--which indicates that Harrison still has not developed a disciplined team...
...Unless Harrison is deluding himself, he must realize that Harvard has a long way to go before it can compete with squads such as Penn, Pittsburgh, and Duke. Even Holy Cross, whom the Crimson faced in two weeks, could give the squad a strong challenge. If anything, the Harvard mentor should have scheduled an additional practice Saturday, rather than cancelling Friday's and giving the players two days of rest...
...Harrison should have had his team in the IAB Friday afternoon drilling them on defensive fundamentals. Springfield had only two decent ballplayers and the Crimson should never have allowed them to get so many points. Harrison (or one of his assistants if he is unable) must make the players get the same sense of pride from their defensive play as they do from their point totals. None of the Harvard forwards, including Tony Jenkins, could stop Springfield's Lewis. Unless more work is done in this area, the Crimson will be victimized all season...
