...main man is Alex Nahigian, who succeeds Loyal Park as varsity baseball coach and will help out with football, too. A reportedly solid teacher, Nahigian has coached hardball at Providence College for the last 19 years, taking the Friars to postseason play nine times. He'll be expected to do the same with the '79 Crimson, as all but three varsity batsmen return for the spring season...
...officials have tried, as usual, to prevent any exaggerated expectations of the outcome at Camp David. Said one: "There is no magic formula. On the basic questions, nothing has changed. There'll be no deus ex machina coming up with a great plan." In fact, even a modest success is far from assured.
