...MacMillan Cup is one of the big-boat races on the college racing circuit. The eight intrepid sailors, led by team captain Steve Strittmaller, sailed two masted 44-ft. yawls. The team had never practiced together on the big boats prior to the official pre-race test run but managed to hang on to second place after the first day of sailing. "We were behind Delaware by eight points and there were two more races to go, which is a huge gap," Horn said. Nevertheless, the team closed the gap in the last two races, sailing well enough to edge...
ITHACA, N.Y.--Quarterbacks. Their importance in Ivy League football was demonstrated compellingly on Saturday. The whole circuit was looking for signalcallers in late August, and how each team solved or didn't solve the problem has largely determined the current standings.

Richard Aberle is patiently connecting up the streamers to make an electric circuit: yellow to yellow, blue to blue. They lead to detonator caps and charges buried deep in the rock by Aberle's partner, Jim Burns. As Aberle makes connections, Burns is busy installing more streamers. Most carefully, he places a single detonator cap on the end of a long air hose, shoves...
