Amherst's first goal typified its offense for the entire game. The Crimson controlled play for the first two minutes when a Lord Jeff halfback stole the ball and fed a long pass to Pieter Van der Torn, the outside left.

Stereo sounds richer on tape, although sales of stereo tapes this year will hit only about $3,000,000 because they are tough to thread and are expensive (about $16.95 for 60 minutes' playing time). But major companies are now planning a simplified tape system...
