Goaltender Rick Metzer, one of the most underrated performers in the East, is gone, and the graduation of forwards Bob Brandt, Mike Ontkean, Rick David, and Dave Sheen, has cost U.N.H. a good deal of its considerable scoring punch. The loss of defensemen Graham Bruder and Mickey Goulet has left coach Charlie Holt with a rebuilding program that might not bring the Wildcats near their 22-5-1 record of last winter...

His appointment by Rome as titular Archbishop of Newport, on the tiny island of Wight off the English coast, is but a traditional gesture and will claim none of his time. Instead, he plans to return to New York to write, lecture and take up his interrupted career as the Catholic TV evangelist through a syndicated weekly program...
