Basepaths aside, Columbia still boasts two of the Eastern League's finest performers. Crafty junior righthander Rolando Acosta was the league's premier hurler last year (5-1, 2.39) in a season that included a masterful 3-1 win over the men-undefeated Crimson. It's no secret that Rolando (3-4 this season) will be locking horns with Harvard ace Larry Brown (6-0) today in what promises to be strictly K-rations for both squads...
Even before he made his '78 northern debut in yesterday afternoon's Greater Boston League tilt against the Northeastern Huskies, Harvard's junior hurler Tim Clifford knew how to keep things in check. Clifford works as a security guard at the Radcliffe Quad, so it was really no surprise that when he took the mound, the Huskies acted as if their bats had been locked in the dugout...
Northeastern hurler Paul Nickerson, who had ten strikeouts, allowed just seven hits and was practically flawless himself when anyone but Santos-Buch was at bat, was victimized by the Crimson centerfielder for the third time in the fifth inning.

...score, bases loaded, two out, ninth inning, full count. Let's see what you got," barks the Red Sox' greatest slugger, Ted Williams. Cincinnati Reds Star Hurler Tom Seaver tosses a pitch, and Terrible Ted trots calmly to first base. The scene at Williams' alma mater, Hoover High School in San Diego, will air in the spring on the syndicated TV show Greatest Sports Legends, to which Seaver is playing host this year. At lunch in Manhattan to pitch the show, Williams, 59, who in his heyday earned $125,000 a year, defended today's well...
Except for the shot put, where Northeastern landed the top two slots (as Huskie hurler Bob Otrando set an institutional record with a 56' 3 1/2" mark), Harvard fared well in the other field events. The Crimson grabbed first place in the pole vault, where Geoff Stiles elbowed his way into the top slot by equalling his personal best of 16' 0" and took first and second place inthe high jump with winners Dan Sullivan and Mike Young...
