...rivalry between Barnes and Elias begins to suppurate sensationally. Elias, a night-world Natty Bumppo, believes only in his skills and his men; he is both in Viet Nam and above it. Barnes can act as impromptu medic to save a soldier's life or, with equal vigor, kill a village woman in front of her husband. In him the grunts find everything worth admiring and hating about war. And even a man determined to kill the sergeant must wait for his approval before blasting him to perdition...

Junior forward Brad Unger exemplified this strong bench play, as his 11 points equaled his career-high, set last year in a win against Albany...
...League Heptagonals championships, but the one that best encapsulated the Crimson cross country team’s performance this weekend was: the more things change, the more they stay the same. In the end, a new coaching staff, a different training regiment and a renewed vigor weren’t enough to keep the men’s cross county team out of the Ivy League cellar, as the Crimson once again finished last at the Heptagonal Championships at Van Cortlandt Park in New York City this past weekend, placing No. 8 out of eight teams with a score...
