...battled back to within seven with less then four minutes left to play. It would all have been in vain, however, if a Yale player hadn't fumbled an on-side kick with less than a minute to play, giving Harvard another possesion--and the chance to put another touchdown on the board...

After losing its first six contests of the 1985 campaign, Cornell rebounded to triumph three times in its final four outings. It is worth noting that five of the Big Red's seven losses last season came by one touchdown or less, and that last year's next-to-last place finishers will have 33 returning lettermen--including all 11 defensive starters--giving the squad the experience it lacked in 1985 to win the close ones...

Most of the running plays, with the thunderous exception of Perry's one-yard touchdown rumble, went unnoticed and uncheered. "It's easier to see the ball on the telly," Sean Dyer, 24, of Melton Mowbray, said, by way of explaining the crowd's curious lapses into silence. But when the ball was kicked or passed, and thus clearly visible to the untrained eye, cheers rocked...

Owning a pro-football franchise is a dream that seems to possess every high- rolling American businessman who ever scored a touchdown in high school or wishes he had. The rewards are not limited to locker-room privileges and the honor of being addressed as "Mr." by an All-Pro tackle. Most N.F.L. stadiums are filled at kickoff time, and last year the owners of the 28 franchises divvied up some $1.2 billion in TV contracts. Understandably, the N.F.L. barons have been loath to share the spoils. More teams mean smaller slices of the TV pie. Businessmen who want...
