Already the standard bearer for single-season performances—his 14 rushing touchdowns and 15 total scores through six games give him one more in each category than Chris Menick ’00 managed in 1997—Dawson will also threaten a pair of career marks before the year is out, though he is just a sophomore. Harvard’s career touchdown mark—29, held by Mike Giardi ’94—will fall after four more Dawson trips to paydirt, paving the way for the demolition of a record that...

He even publicly considered withdrawing from the national team, sending China's sports propagandists into a tizzy. The Chinese state-run media reported one basketball official accusing...
