...first in the Eastern League with a 2-0 record (last season's co-champion Cornell is 3-0), by virtue of last Saturday's twinbill sweep of Dartmouth. Two, or preferably three wins this weekend could put the Crimson in strong bargaining position by the time the home stretch of the 14-game league season comes around...

As Jerome Robbins broke up the anonymity of the old musical chorus line, Baryshnikov has livened up the role played by the corps de ballet, giving many of the 50-odd dancers at least some individuality.
