Harvard-Cornell games have recently been low-scoring encounters, and the Crimson was lucky to pull out a 14-12 victory when it last visited Schoelkopf Field. But the usually strong Big Red defense is somewhat porous this fall and seems equally susceptible to both ground and air attack...
...Operation Intercept got under way, U.S. border guards and customs officers fanned out across the porous 2,500-mile Mexico border that large quantities of illegal drugs cross on their way to the U.S. Officers and trained hounds searched automobile glove compartments and trunks, children's dolls and hollow surfboards, northbound traffic was slowed for miles on Mexico's routes 2 and 15.

An interesting battle will be between goalies John Cosentino and Kirby Wilcox. Wilcox was to have...
Cornell wrapped up the game in their next at bat when with two outs they exploded for four runs. A porous outfield allowed hits by Witkowski and Watzka to go for extra bases...
