Raymond - who began work on the painting about 10 days ago - said he expected to collect some 300 signatures, and hoped to auction the final work on his website for more than...

The disappointing round saw the Crimson behind both Dartmouth (308-317-625) and Brown (311-318-629) heading into Sunday. “Losing on Saturday put us in our place a bit,” junior Sarah Harvey (79-78-157) said.
