Going into Saturday's clash. Crimson coach Johnny Lee was sure that Springfield grapplers Matt Hawes (118 lbs.), Mike Ciarmello (177 lbs.) and Jeff Blatnick (UNL) would win their battles, but he hoped his charges could take at least six of the other seven bouts to win the war.

Tuomo Kerola eases the pain of Ted Fullerton's graduation by beefing up the breaststroke corps. Kerola, a member of the Finnish Olympic team, was an All-American in 1976 as an exchange student at Hinsdale (III.) High, where he teamed with Harvard sophomore standout Matt Robertson...

Rape is frighteningly real these days, and when El Gallo and the two fathers sing "It Depends on What You Pay," haggling over how elaborate an abduction El Gallo is to produce, we aren't tittilated...
