...didn't take long for the Crimson to turn the skeptics back into optimists Saturday behind an early offensive surge by Co-Captain Mark Donovan. The senior midfielder netted two-thirds of his team-leading hat trick in the first quarter, twice beating Princeton goalkeeper Jim Ardrey after breaks down the right side...
Donovan opened the third quarter with another high shot past Ardrey after another break down the right side. Reilly then received a dish from Co-Captain middie Perry Dodge at the crease, for his second lay-up of the afternoon, and a 7-3 Harvard lead...
DIED. Robert Ardrey, 71, dramatist and self-trained anthropologist whose works on man's origins and behavior, among them African Genesis (1961) and The Territorial Imperative (1966) promoted popular interest in the once-obscure field that he made his specialty; of lung cancer; in Kalk Bay, South Africa, where he had lived since 1978. Many of the plays (Thunder Rock, Shadow of Heroes) and movie scripts (Madame Bovary, Khartoum) that the Chicago-born Ardrey wrote, beginning in the 1930s, showed the fascination with man's roots that later led him into anthropology. It was his notion that...

...patient searchers discern more and more about early man and his predecessors, they also may gain an ever-widening insight about modern man, his nature, his failings and his future. Most major anthropologists reject the notion popularized by Robert Ardrey (The Territorial Imperative) and others that man is inherently aggressive and that his murderous instincts derive from his apelike origins. Indeed, they have found no evidence in their digs that man was anything but a peaceable hunter-gatherer before the invention of agriculture some 10,000 years ago. It was farming, they believe, that created settlers with property to protect...
