Harvard's freshmen corps shone in Sunday's win over Colby in the 1980 Olympic arena. Taking an assist from Sandra Whyte, Stickles came through again and scored in the first period. Simmonds followed her classmates' leads in the opening period and tallied an unassistsed goal. In the third period, Whyte delivered the game-winner...

Later we learned just how lucky we were. Shortly before our arrival, a Soviet transport plane carrying relief workers to Leninakan, some 60 miles north of Yerevan, crashed.

Not because dear old Harvard won any more triumphantly on the football field--though of course it did. No, this autumn will be most pleasurable to me because this autumn two evil men have irretrievably consigned their immortal souls to the burning perdition of Hell...
