...guesstimation, at best, because every squad--with the possible exception of Brown--has a legitimate shot at the crown in the very short (seven games) Ivy season. Princeton gets the early honors mostly on the strength of a possibly phenomenal recruiting year, with Tiger coach Bill Muse counting on the freshmen to shore up the offense and improve last year's 8-4-3 mark...
...pick up and handle living tidal organisms such as horseshoe crabs, moon snails and sand dollars. The 13-ft.-high viewing windows of two gigantic "race track" tanks, one atop the other, reveal the dark worlds of an Atlantic coral reef and the deep sea. Scores of trigger fish, tiger fish, parrot fish, grunts and blow fish swim in a traffic jam of color through the coral reef. Below, sea turtles and rays settle into the simulated depths, sometimes with understandable uneasiness, as eight species of shark hover near...
That has been a relief to freight forwarding companies everywhere. In fact, in recent years, many such companies have begun operating, or sharply expanding, cargo-plane services of their own. Flying Tiger Line of Los Angeles, the largest U.S. all-cargo carrier (1980 revenues: $713 million), ships everything from oil-drilling equipment and Pharmaceuticals to machine parts, chemicals and cut flowers. Emery Air Freight Corp. of Wilton, Conn. (1980 revenues: $551 million), operates 62 aircraft serving 130 airports in North America, Europe and the Pacific. Federal Express of Memphis flies 60 jets delivering small packages overnight. Federal Express...
...addition to the remains of birds, fish, turtles and crocodiles, Webb's workers found seven species of tiny extinct horses. These are among many mammals, including the saber-toothed tiger, that mysteriously disappeared from' the Western Hemisphere at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. Equines were not seen again in the New World until the Spanish reintroduced them in the 16th century. Yet other species located in the Love pit are still alive and well, even if not in Florida. The diggers, for example, identified the remains of tapirs, piglike animals that...
...digging and shooting have paid off handsomely. Webb considers the Love pit one of the richest U.S. fossil finds in years, unequaled anywhere in the Southeast. Some specimens turned up in almost wholesale quantities. His team, for example, dug up so many saber-toothed tiger bones that they may help shed a totally new light on the ferocious-looking cats. Some were so young they still had baby teeth, others were 25 to 30 years old. (In appreciation of the Loves, researchers even named one new sabertooth species after them: Barbourofelis lovei...
