KATIE ORENSTEIN and the women's swimming team, looking ahead to defending its Eastern title, got upset by Princeton at Blodgett in February. The Crimson also would drop Easterns to Penn State. Freshman ERIKA ELMUTS shows off her backhand during the Crimson's eighth consecutive Ivy-title winning season. Harvard linebacker CRAIG PECK shows this Brown wide receiver how to tackle "between the numbers" on this pass in the football team's 27-14 win over the Bruins.
