...accustomed to taking my 5 o’clock scotch in the company of other well-mannered gentlemen, blanch at the notion of hooligans loitering among us. They threaten our quietude, with their newfangled dungarees and brimmed caps turned askew, and not so much as a single article of tweed! They scream along to their wild rock-and-roll music—all fans of those British, mop-headed Insects, or Beetles, or whatnot—and exhibit all manner of inappropriate merriment...
...sherry to the point of wooziness: for shame! They will then slur their speech and stumble about in an unrefined manner. An utter disgrace to this university! These troublemakers remain out until all hours of the night (I have seen them frolicking about past the 9 o’clock hour), when all decent individuals have long since retired for the evening.

Pike blocked the attempt, but as the rebound rolled in front of the net, Crusaders attacker Chris Smirti raced in to scoop up the ball and converted on a diving shot with just 6.3 seconds left on the clock. At halftime, Harvard led 3-1, but held a substantial edge in shots, 19-8, groundballs, 14-6, and face-offs, 4-2. “We came out a little slow,” Cohen said. “We were a little lacking after the last three defeats...
...goal for the Crimson in the first half, as the Big Green outscored Harvard, 13-5, going into the break. Winning the next draw control, the Crimson gave up the first of three major turnovers that allowed Dartmouth to score its next two goals with 20 minutes on the clock. “We came out flat,” freshman goalkeeper Kerry Clark said. “They came out really strong, so the first half we kind of dug ourselves into a hole and had to chip away at it.”Attacking Clark with seven shots...
