...Spring break. But for eight dauntless Ivy Leaguers and their willing coach, the traditional exodus has a special significance. To the Harvard varsity golf team, it means the linksters will once again put the pedal to the metal and the wood to the ball and ease on down the road towards the Florida panhandle for a full week of tourney action against some of that state's finest teams...
...assessment of this adventure lies on down the road, perhaps months away, as has been the case with most of the President's international initiatives. The record is not encouraging. Dramatic moments too often were revealed in hindsight to have been hastily prepared. Some people fear that an Israeli-Egyptian treaty could isolate Sadat in the Arab world, deepen hostility to the U.

...yawned their way to a 9-0 win. They followed up that performance with identical 9-zip squashings of a potentially-strong Army squad and a predictably-weak Trinity nine. After the Christmas break, Harvard ousted Williams 7-2, setting the stage for "The Weekend," a double-bagger road trip against Navy and Princeton...
