...again DiMaggio, a potential star in this league, will not be the culprit. Penn’s defense is good, but so is the Leopards’. And with Lafayette senior tailback Maurice White exploding onto the scene with 318 rushing yards in his first two games as a starter, the numbers just don’t add up for the Quakers.Prediction: Lafayette 20, Penn 14PRINCETON (0-1) VS.

As a television camera scanned the scrum of athletes readying themselves for the starter's gun, a commentator asked: "And what's this Ethiopian called?" It was 1960, Rome. Africa was just shrugging off the weight of colonial rule and some sporting officials still doubted Africans were ready for the big time. A little over 2 hr. 15 min. later that myth lay shattered by the slight man wearing number 11, a member of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie's Imperial...
