Harvard had an amazing weekend not only in its team competition, sweeping all six of its opponents, but it had a special side attraction as well. Diana Edge, Harvard's number one player and a three-time All-Ivy selection was presented with the coveted Betty Ritichie Award--an honor symbolic of an all around outstanding person in women's intercollegiate squash. Edge was selected by the nation's coaches and team captains...
Running neck and neck with Gephardt are Michael Dukakis and Paul Simon. Dukakis, in particular, remains formidable with his no-fuss, no-muss campaign style.

Maybe he will get the sun in there somehow...
While it may be hasty to assume that James is headed for some kind of All-Ivy honor just yet, it does look like James is a sure-fire bet for the Ivy League Rookie-of-the-Year award. The last Crimson player to claim that honor was Harvard's third all-time leading scorer, Bob Ferry, in the 1981-82 season...
