Junior cap tain Steve Kay, who last year was named the most valuable player in the ECAC, led the spikers in perhaps their finest performance of the year, as they cut the ball much more finely and made far better angle shots than they have previously this season. Once the spikers were able to adjust to Queensboro's extremely effective blocking, they had no further problems with the upset-minded New York squad...

Nonetheless, Western analysts have a notably poor record deciphering Communist intentions; they failed to predict the massive offensives of Tet 1968 and Easter 1972. The frequency of the cease-fire viola tions convinces South Vietnamese lead ers that Hanoi has not abandoned its aim to take over the entire South...
