...Harvard squad to see its progression from that first weekend. Success against BU would fill the Crimson (0-5-1) with more confidence as its Ivy League season begins Sunday at Penn. If the team can achieve a good result, it would continue on its rising learning curve climbing following its first tie of the season last weekend against St. Mary’s.

A typical media portrayal of today's child is of a fatso slumped in front of a video game, guzzling soft drink and not faintly inclined to venture outside to kick a ball or climb a tree. But this perception buckles under scrutiny. From the SPANS school survey, Michael Booth reports that while few pupils walk to school any more and cycling there has all but vanished, a huge majority are performing the recommended one hour a day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
