Sophomore righthander Doug Sutton (1-0, 1-5 ERA) couldn't contribute much last year because of a sore arm. It has improved considerably. He pitched 11 2/3 fine innings last year.

The vulnerability of the Marines in Lebanon is a sore point; 49% of the people questioned in last week's Times/CBS poll wanted them brought home, vs. only 35% in October.
