...found strength. Rich Man, Poor Man, a sexy twelve-hour serial that could turn into a series, was launched. Then Pierce delivered the coup de grace to his rivals: he made the Winter Olympics an eleven-day prime-time special. Sports President Roone Arledge's consummate showmanship and superb coverage grabbed a nightly 34 share of the audience and blunted the impact of CBS'S and NBC's new shows...
Unlike many other varsity sports at Harvard, hockey is characterized by superb coaching and an aggressive winning attitude. "That Cleary is the hungriest bastard I've ever seen," Hughes says. "He wants to win so bad he'd get out there himself if he could." Speedster Purdy adds, "All three coaches are super. They won't bench you for one mistake, but help you and give you confidence...

Neal Brandel (190 lbs.), another superb Yale grappler, completely overpowered Harvard's Sal D'Agostino, 15-1, to clinch the Elis triumph. Without a win at 118, Kip Smith's 4-3 victory for Harvard in the unlimited bracket was meaningless, except to make the final score close enough to remind everyone of the upset that might have been...
