Jeff Hargadon and Ralph Booth led Harvard's defense, protecting McKennen, who made 12 saves. Perez played a strong offensive game after moving up from center half to the center forward and position...

For despite the tocsins from Washington, despite intruders from overseas, the maligned frank furter has proved as irresistible in 1972 as it was in 1914 to a boy named Penrod. The hero of Booth Tarkington's Huckleberry novels thought the "winny-wurst" was "all nectar and ambrosia. ..it was rigidly forbidden by the home authorities."

Merchants who relied on the Republicans to be big spenders were also disappointed. "We will be lucky if we break even," says Sheila Roth, who ran a souvenir booth in the lobby of the Fontainebleau Hotel last week. Two exceptions: button sellers did a brisk business, and some delicatessens did well during the Democratic gathering.
