...other annual opponent for the Crimson will be a much stiffer test. Stetson, a Florida-based team, is a very strong Division Two team that is perennially in the Top 20.

Tuna Lund, a huge fellow from Reno who got his nickname from an oceanic losing streak in Carson City, Nev. (a sure loser is a fish, and a tuna is a big fish), just sits at the table looking massive. He hasn't much choice; but if he's winning (which he is, just...
