Crimson lineman Larry Ekpebu had two on-target shots knocked down late in the game, neither of them by the Amherst goalie.

The ball hit defender Walter Barnette and seemed to be headed straight for the goal, but it ticked the post just hard enough to be deflected safely away...
Then, with time running out in the second overtime, a cross from the Crimson's left wing Tadgh Sweeney pulled goalie Robin Parkman far out of position. Ekpebu, at center forward, got off a low, fast shot toward the empty nets, but Amherst fullback Drew Mallory sank to his knees in front of the goal and blocked the ball with his chest.

A Defense Department budget slash last week killed off plans for the last far-out supersonic interceptor, the Mach3 North American F-108. Air Force flyboys trust and hope that the $2.4 billion savings will help support the B70 project when it comes under the budget...
