Cleary obviously had a few words for his team between periods, and the Crimson looked slightly better in the third period. Dave Hynes put Harvard back in the game at 12:09, turning a defenseman on a full-length rush and dekeing goalie Smith to make it 3-3. U.N.H.'s slow defense almost cost the wildcats the game in the final minutes, as Harvard blew two breakaways...
Died. Naoya Shiga, 88, the grand old misanthropic master of Japanese letters, known to his countrymen as "the Divine Novelist" and "Emperor Shiga"; of pneumonia; in Tokyo. Shiga was a perfectionist who spent 16 years writing his only full-length novel, a semi-autobiographical work called Anya Koro (Journey Through the Darkness).

...seems at first far too facile and fragile an idea for a full-length movie: the roller derby as a metaphor for America's competition, violence, degradation. Scenes of derby competition worked well in films like Petulia and Medium Cool because they were used as secondary symbols, episodes that were part of a more complex whole. But an entire feature devoted to the derby, its stars and its lifestyles? Director-Cameraman Robert Kaylor confounds all expectations in Derby. He does it by treating the competition not as a symbol but as a sorry fact of life...
