Freshman sensation Pete Fitzsimmons, led Harvard's cross country team to a 14th place finish Saturday in the IC4A's University Division Championships at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx...
...time they reached Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport on their way east, Csonka was a good deal cooler. He and Keating learned that N.F.L. Commissioner Pete Rozelle had ruled against any W.F.L. player's joining the N.F.L. this season. His reason: Bassett had threatened an antitrust suit against the N.F.L. if the league tried to sign his men. Csonka the realist shrugged his massive shoulders. "Let's face it," he said.

Layered in bandages, packed in ice, paralyzed, you thrash to hear the sound and there is none. Johnny Bench is in Pete Rose's arms, and the ball is high above shallow center. Everyone knows this now. No one is covering third base, but Yasztremski is invisibly flying to the dugout and the dark tunnel behind it to the locker room. The ball descends. Cesar Geronimo extends...
