...thing for a hockey player to pose for collar ads, for a baseball manager to turn banker, for a track star to get elected to Congress-or even for an ex-boxer to take up 32 lines in Who's Who. But when a rodeo cowboy drifts into town in his own $11,500 airplane, passes up the saloons and heads instead for Howard Johnson's-"because I like the ice cream"-well, respectability has crossed the last frontier...
...good. He should be able to learn the pass-catching art--his natural football ability is genuinely All-American. His size and proneness to injury are against him, but there are already a number of small fragile flankers in the pros. Further, Mike Holovak is second only to B.C. hockey coach Snooks Kelley in his reliance on local products (it was the Patriots who also drafted Davis). If Leo can do anything for the team--and Boston has a notoriously weak receiving corps--the bonus of attracting Harvard followers to Patriot games will tip the scales in his favor. Making...

It was not a particularly proud day for the Ivy League, though, unless you consider 23-year-old Canadian semi-pros who are lured to America solely for their hockey ability as representatives of the Ivy League.

Harkness...
...Boston University and Cornell hockey teams, which together accounted for one half of the Crimson skaters' 12 losses this season, topped the West's best to set up the first all-East NCAA final in 18 years. It was the third showdown between the two teams: in the Arena Christmas Tournament finale they let the marbles lie with a 3-3 tie. Cornell picked up some of them with a 4-3 ECAC Tournament win last week, then took them all on the 45-minute ride back to Ithaca with a convincing 4-1 win Saturday night...
