Hampered by a pulled hamstring freshman year, Johnson found himself barely able to jump more than 20 feet, three ft 8 inches less than his stellar opening scores. Eventually, things got so bad that he was heckled in an exhibition meet in Alabama. "People were jumping 24 and 25 feet and there I was jumping 21," Johnson recalled. "People in the crowd would yell, 'you don't want that one,' after I jumped...
NOTEBOOK: While the Crimson continues to have problems with its on-and-off offense, the defense has been stellar...With Saturday's win. Harvard's goals-against average sank to 1.92 per game...As usual, the Crimson vastly outshot its opponents, this time by 39-19...The icewomen will be in action tonight at Boston College's McHugh Forum against a weak Eagle squad with some horrendous losses (15-0 to Providence last week) on its record...It should be a friends-and-family-only crowd, as B.C. hockey fans have other things on their minds (like Beanpot finals...

The big rocket's first and third stages were built in France, the second in West Germany. Britain developed much of the computer software. Contributions came from Belgium, Spain, The Netherlands and, in fact, all of the founding partners in this billion-dollar collaboration. Ariane's first commercial flight is scheduled...

With the continuous improvement of freshmen Bausano and Wallace, the present and the future look bright...
...Tufts could conceivably steal from the Harvard thinclads. In the hurdles and long jump, look for freshman record-holder Mariquita "Skeets" Patterson to sneak into a few top places, and for speedy Marjorie Charoun and Kathy Busby to do the same in the dashes. Also expected to turn in stellar performances are yardling Jenny Stricker--who took the Ivy League cross-country laurels and who will be running in her first 400-meter event of the season--and sophomore Grace de Fries in the 800-meter race...
