VIVIAN GORNICK MUST have been a precocious child. By the age of five she had adopted a world view; unfortunately she kept it intact through four decades. Born during the mid-1930s in a Jewish enclave of the Bronx, Gornick identified with her father's working class bonds long before she recognized the significance of her religion or sex.

"Our defense can play with any attack in the country," claimed goalie Kenny First last night. And against Hopkins, the man who showed that most clearly was Miller. The freshman standout from Baltimore played man-to-man against All-American Mike O'Neil, who won the award as the best attackman in the nation last year.
