...players switch jersey numbers. To "get the crowd going with us," he has charged onto the floor and deliberately drawn a technical foul. "I know some of them coaches are smarter," drawls Driesell, "and some are better lookin', but none of 'em is gonna outwork ole Lefty...
Today, having skillfully assembled one of the most talent-laden teams in college basketball, ole Lefty has turned center stage over to his Terrapin terrors. Hitting a hot 56% of their shots last week, the fast-breaking Terrapins rolled over Virginia 93-74 to register their 14th victory in a row-and make good on Driesell's promise to build his team into "the U.C.L.A. of the East."

But then, recalled Roberto Canessa, a 19-year-old medical student, "I looked out as we turned and saw a mountain only a few feet away." Without warning, the plane hit a peak and slid like a toboggan for half a mile down an 80° slope. When the plane finally stopped in a huge snowdrift...
