...young jock fighting to overcome shortness of stature, a tendency to hotdog, and a blank-slate mind, Benson gives an engaging performance, sweet without being cloying. As the "older woman"-a senior who is hired by the athletics department to tutor him-Annette O'Toole has the film's best tough talk to handle, and her verbal style contrasts piquantly with her fresh, natural good looks.

...case you just joined me, I was just ranting and raving to myself over the Harvard baseball team's split with Yale yesterday afternoon. The 6-4 win and 6-5 loss puts Harvard's record at 19-4 overall and 4-3 in the Eastern League. The latter slate means that the team is now in a must-win situation for its seven remaining games in the EIBL if it wants a chance to take the championship...
