Another close battle here. Yale’s junior Robert Carr was certainly the consensus preseason pick as the league’s top running back. He had fantastic freshman and sophomore years and was a unanimous First Team All-Ivy selection last season. He hasn’t disappointed in 2003, averaging 4.8 yards-per-carry with 10 rushing touchdowns. He’s also racked up 772 yards on the ground and added 424 return yards, good for fourth in the Ivy League in all-purpose yards...
Unfortunately for the Yalies, Harvard has freshman tailback Clifton Dawson, whom Columbia coach Bob Shoop called the best back in the Ivies, hands down. He’s probably right. In one less game than Carr, Dawson has 1,003 yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s rushed for over 100 yards in five straight games, including topping the 200 mark against Lafayette and carrying the ball 40 times for 187 yards in Harvard’s 43-40 overtime win against Princeton...

If Harvard was completely healthy, again, the edge would go to the Crimson. But with so many injuries, Yale gets...

But he clearly studied from the return school of Carl Morris ’03, ignoring the “fair catch” rule without regard for the amount of defenders in his face. Carr does Yale’s kickoff duties and has returned one for a touchdown this year...
...riveted by the trial in London of Soham school caretaker Ian Huntley, who denied murdering 10-year-old schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman but pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice; prosecutors suggested he would admit the girls died in his house. Huntley's ex-girlfriend, Maxine Carr, denied charges of assisting an offender and conspiracy. The two girls disappeared last August, while walking in the village of Soham, in eastern England. The discovery of their bodies 13 days later in a remote woodland ditch provoked a national outpouring of sympathy and grief...
