Harvard Skiing

Dartmouth triumphed in the women's relay, which featured 15 teams. The University of New Hampshire took top honors in the men's relay, which featured 20 teams.
For the Harvard women's team, Manya Deehr covered the 3x5 kilometer course in 18:05, Lucy Macmillan covered it in 18:35 and Joy Clendenning in 20:21.
For the Harvard men's squad. Bill Kealey covered the 3x10 kilometer course in 32:05, Dan Carey covered it in 32:51 and John Seybold in 34:04.
Both Crimson squads return to action this Sunday at the Concord Classic in Carlyle, Mass.
Yet Some More
Doug Flutie, "very impressed" with a contract offer from New Jersey of the United States Football League, said yesterday he is eager to hear from the National Football League before deciding his future.
But Flutie "is going to have one heck of a tough decision to make" if he does not hear from the NFL by the latest date on which the USFL's Generals want to know if he will sign with them, said Bob Woolf, Flutie's attorney.
"I don't necessarily want to play in the NFL compared to the USFL," Flutie said at a news conference. "I just want to see what they have to offer."
Woolf said he called NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle Tuesday and has a "pretty good idea" of that league's problem regarding Flutie, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from Boston College.
The problem, he said, is that Buffalo has the top pick in the April 30 draft and hasn't decided who to take.
Woolf refused to reveal details of the Generals' offer, but said, "this would make him (Flutie) the highest paid rookie in any sport."
He also said that the Generals, who open their season Feb. 24, did not set a deadline for Flutie to accept or reject their offer.
