Harvard (34-16, 18-2 Ivy) shocked the nation by upsetting No. 4-ranked UCLA in the first round of the Regional by a 7-2 margin. The Crimson rode the strong pitching of Frank Hogan'97, who scattered six hits over eight-plus innings for his eighth victory of the season...
...children pad down the stairs on Saturday morning, and after a quick breakfast they're beckoned to an adjacent room by a blank TV screen. Taken in hand by the remote control, they are led through a world populated by Power Rangers, Animaniacs, the Cryptkeeper, Cap'n Crunch, Hulk Hogan, the Incredible Hulk, the Mighty Ducks, Rugrats, Spider-Man, Superman, Pinky and the Brain, Barbie, Nightmare Ned, The Undertaker...

His mystique was further enhanced by the 1967 Masters, when he shot a record 30 on the back nine. In the par-3 tourney before this year's Masters, Ernie Els found himself in a group with Gary Player and Sam Snead. When Els asked Player how he should address the great Snead, Player replied, "Sam will be fine. If we were playing with Ben Hogan, though, you'd call him Mr. Hogan...
