...constitution, two-thirds goes annually to U.T. and one-third to Texas A & M). Says Weinberg: "Everyone seems acutely aware of the opportunity this university has of making the same move that Berkeley once made-of becoming an absolutely peerless university." In the mid-'70s oil revenues were sunk into concrete edifices: $32.5 million for a basketball arena, $6.5 million for swimming, $2.5 million for baseball.

But the Big Red refused to play dead, matching the inhospitable hosts point for point. Two Cornell foul shots broke a 64-64 tie, but Leithauser--who led the scoring with 17 points--then sunk one of two free throws to cut the lead to one at 66-65 with 50 seconds to play...
