Columbia gunslingers Alton Byrd, Juan Mitchell and Shane Cotner all come from west of the Mississippi and are joined by fellow junior Ricky Free, a Brooklynite who matriculated in bending basketball rims at Boys High. They combined to discharge a 58 point barrage. Mitchell had 18 points and Byrd stung Glenn Fine for 16 points...
Cornell, after trailing Harvard since the first minute, pulled even, 69-69, with 2:30 remaining on a jumper by Mike Davis, the Cornell high scorer who stung the Crimson with 20 points.

The Soviet shortfall changed all that and taught the speculators-as well as Washington officials-a little more about...
