...resounding 14-4 victory over Queens College. But the nationally ranked Terriers did not allow Harvard (5-5-1) to complete the sweep. The Crimson fell to 2-1 on the weekend after being toppled 13-8 by Saint Francis. SAINT FRANCIS 13, HARVARD 8 In the final clash of the day, the Crimson matched up well against the nationally ranked squad, but errors by Harvard allowed the Terriers to pull ahead. “They’re a team where you can never slip up,” Garcia said. “They know how to exploit...
...Game,” Harvard’s single greatest sporting event, I was stunned. It’s traditionally Harvard’s lone day in the athletic sun, with Sportscenter coverage, a national broadcast, and enough of a crowd to give last year’s clash the fifth-highest single-game attendance in all of Division I-AA football, higher than 456 Division I-A games.

...good to be four years younger than John." At other times, Python writing sessions sometimes deteriorated into skirmishes between the C's (Cambridge alums Cleese, Chapman and Idle) and the O's (Oxonians Jones and Palin and Occidental College graduate Gilliam).

Fatah recognized the State of Israel only because it had become clear to them that Israel was an irreversible historical fact. But that certainly did not stop Fatah's rank and file from taking up arms during the intifada that began...
...still September, this is likely the most important weekend of the Ivy slate, ripe with evenly-matched rivalry games. The reigning league champion (Brown) and the squad it unseated (Harvard) meet in their annual early-autumn thriller. And the other member of the Ivies’ triumvirate, Penn, clashes with local rival Villanova in a crucial test of just how much it has recovered from last year’s .500 season. If you check out today’s football supplement, on the back page, you will see The Crimson’s three esteemed football beat writers...
