...trying to feel like a team, to act like a team.” But as the first game got underway, it looked as though last night’s performance might be just more of the same. Harvard found itself in a five-point hole after an MIT ace, but managed to stay close on two timely kills from co-captain Seamus McKiernan. By the time the Crimson took a 24-23 lead—its first of the game—on a McKiernan kill, the opening frame seemed firmly in its grasp. Harvard’s energy...

In almost every other year, the favorite is a film with the kind of glossy production values that earn it nominations, and wins, in the frou-frou categories: art direction, costumes and, if the actors run around a bit, editing.
