Holding a 10-7 lead in the third period, Yale turned a miracle to put the game in its favor. Senior quarterback Pat O'Brien lofted a down-the-middle toss to favorite target John Spagnola, but the Eli receiver could only tip the pass high up into...
...does avoid recession, it will be a close call. Real gross national product?output of goods and services, discounted for inflation?is rising about 4% this year. The Administration's 1979 target is 3%, a rate that would keep inflation from getting worse but might not be enough to prevent unemployment from rising above its October level of 5.8% (down slightly from 6% in September).

Benedict elected instead to plant all his acres, gambling that eventually he will get a high enough price to make a larger profit on a bigger crop. Whether he wins he will not know for many months. He has signed a contract to sell 40% of his wheat crop, for a price that he says "will cover costs and a little...
