Long flight back

the 'cats lose at Stanford. it was a 13 point deficit at halftime; NU cut it to 59-58 with 90 seconds left, but they only scored one more point the rest of the way. this stanford team is not that good, and this is a lost opportunity for an NU team trying to make its mark.

perhaps the biggest surprises from the Stanford game were that the Bay Area media actually refered to the Wildcats as a "big test" and Johnny Dawkins said of NU "I really respect their program."
