Harvard Coach Pete Roby will try to press Stanford to help minimize the size disparity. The quicker Crimson subs--forwards Neil Phillips and Kevin Collins--should get a lot of time early in the game to enforce the pressure. Tri-Captain Mike Gielen will have to hound point guard Terry Taylor into numerous turnovers for the Crimson to stay close...
...Olliemania with a two-hour movie to be based on an instant biography being churned out by Boston Globe Reporter Ben Bradlee Jr. The deal is only in the exploratory stage, but Hollywood gossip mills already tab Treat Williams as a natural for the part of the hound-dog-eyed Marine.

A friend from the cast telephoned me one evening, soon before opening night. "We need a body for Hound," he said. Like the hotdog I am, I accepted the role with relish. After all, it sounded easy and fun--just lie on stage for an hour, then go to the cast party. While you only live once, I reasoned, here was an opportunity to die twice. Test driving the afterlife is a privilege granted...
