Everything looked fine until about a week ago. Thirteen lettermen were scheduled to return--among them, nine of the eleven starters. The Crimson also boasted three All-Ivies in Chris Ohiri, Billy Ward, and captain Tony Davies. When Harvard Sports Information asked Munro about prospects earlier this month, he had to admit the Crimson looked like a hands-down winner...

Opening new charge accounts, shoppers last week queued up in four separate lines in the credit department at Montgomery Ward's in Kansas City, and the picture was much the same in other department stores around the country. Consumer installment credit, up $2 billion for the year, swelled to a record total of $45 billion in July and helped lift retail sales to a new peak of $19.7 billion...
