Either the University of Pennsylvania, which has already clinched a tie for its third straight Ancient Eight title, will win the vaunted crown outright, or the Harvard squad, also looking for a third straight title of its own, will tie the Quakers...

New Delhi was annoyed by Washington's opposition to India's nuclear program, and relations hit an alltime low when the Nixon Administration openly "tilted" toward Islamabad during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war.
