...really glad the Beanpole is at Harvard," Schuss said. "We're looking forward to playing tomorrow night, and we think we have a great chance to win. We proved we have the talent against Princeton (a 3-1 win over the league leading Tigers on December third), but we need everyone to play their best...
...unexpected U.S. triumphs left Austrian and Swiss favorites floundering in the powder. The two powerhouse Alpine nations, where World Cup races are routinely televised and schuss stars are celebrities, had dominated Olympic skiing for decades.

Charles and three others narrowly avoided the cascade, but two friends ( were buried in what Charles later described as a "whirling maelstrom...
...Phil says, "and were off skiing and hiking as soon as we got home. We've spent the major part of our lives in the snow." By the age of nine, the twins were the joint terrors of the Buddy Werner League races, the local punt, pass and schuss contest. Exactly when Phil slid slightly ahead is unclear, but Steve imagines it was at the starting line. "I was born four minutes later," he says, "and I've been trying to catch up ever since...
