When suddenly he begins to shrink. Say from 18 feet down to about three. The screen shatters into a half-dozen other, simultaneous, images. Up left, an exterior shot of Las Vegas' International Hotel. By day, a pretty dull affair, not to be compared with Caesar's or the Sands. But by night! ELVIS. In mile-high neon.

...receivers, however. Yale's pass rush has dumped opposing quarterbacks six times in the last two games for minus 49 yards. Crone has shown a tendency to take a lot of time looking for receivers, which is effective against the Brown pass rush, but suicidal against the Yale rush. Screen passes have been useless in trying to slow down the rush as the Elis nailed three screens for no gain in the last two games...
