If f:Y->X is a flat projective morphism, and E - locally free sheaf on
Y, then
1. f_*(E) is locally free
2. R^p f_*(E) are locally free for p > 0
It looks reasonable, at least #1, but I didn't find anything like this
in Hartshorne.

1.) is true if X is, in addition, integral Noetherian and the function x
-> h^0(x,E)=dim_{k(x)}H^0(Y_x,E_x) is constant on X.
2.) is true if X is Noetherian if E is of the form E(n) for n>>0 where
the twist is taken e.r.t. an f-ample line bundle L on Y.

I am quite sure that this is somewhere in Hartshorne's cohomology section.
