...longer just a sidearm for doting daddies, camcorders are branching out. SAMSUNG'S SC-X105L (available in March for $600) has a separate wide-angle lens that you can attach, by way of headband or armband, to your extremities. The camcorder itself stays safely tucked inside your jacket or carrying case while the remote lens captures all your adrenalized action. Another innovation: Sony's DCR-DVD403 DVD Handycam (out this spring for $1,000) brings richness to a home-video soundtrack by recording audio from five directions and encoding it automatically onto a DVD in genuine Dolby Digital 5.1 surround...

Princeton began resting some of its players—such as starting goalie David Law—in the fourth quarter and the Crimson capitalized, recording a 16-6 advantage in shots over the final 15 minutes. Mahler scored Harvard’s third goal with a sidearm shot, while Chandis provided one of the few highlights of the day for the Crimson by forcing a turnover in the Tiger end and scoring a breakaway goal to create the final margin...
...look at it, Eckersley was not a typical pitcher. Throughout his career with the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Oakland A’s and St. Louis Cardinals, the kid from California known as the Eck utilized his trademark sidearm delivery to deceive hitters. Eckersley’s long black hair always hung out the back of his cap, and he would routinely pump his fist in jubilation after completing one of his 2,401 career strikeouts...
