Leading Off

Summer of 42
Jerseys bearing Jackie Robinson 's number were ready and waiting for all the Dodgers to wear in their game against the Padres on Sunday, the 60th anniversary of the day the Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman (inset) integrated the major leagues. Entire teams and individual players throughout the big leagues switched numbers in honor of the late Hall of Famer.

Max Effort
Duke attackman Max Quinzani went horizontal for a shot against Virginia during the Blue Devils' 7--6 win in Durham, N.C. , last Saturday. The victory upped Duke 's record to 10--2 under first-year coach John Danowski (inset, far left). Meanwhile, former coach Mike Pressler (inset, left), forced to resign last season after a woman falsely accused Duke players of sexual assault, led his new team, Bryant College, to a 27--8 win over Franklin Pierce (LIFE OF REILLY, page 82).

Blades of Glory
Goalie Rick DiPietro and defenseman Chris Campoli celebrated the Islanders' 3--2 victory over the top-seeded Sabres last Saturday, tying their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series at one game apiece. It was DiPietro 's first game in net since being sidelined with a concussion on March 25.
