...more Harvard turnovers. Amaker doesn't like what he's seeeing, takes Harris out after four minutes. 15:22: Timeout to stop the bleeding. Down 13-5, it seems to me a result of turnovers and confused play, on defense and offense. Not heads up ball form Amaker's crew. one positive is that Clifford only has 2 points and looks to be struggling to get points on his own--without getting offensive boards. Also, he's balding. 15:15: Guess what? Harvard turnover. Six turnovers in five minutes. Make that seven, with a poor pass from Magnerelli...
...Harvard and Radcliffe crew teams finished their respective fall seasons with solid performances at the Foot of the Charles on Saturday. It was the Black and White women who led the way on Saturday morning as the heavyweights took a first in the varsity four heat, a second for the novice eight, and a third in the varsity eight race, while the lightweight varsity eight emerged victorious in the varsity eight heat of the regatta.

And that means every top-flight, tightly wound crew might want to save a seat for at least one O'Shaughnessy...
...they are on all trips and especially the long hauls, the flight attendants are trained to keep an eye out for passengers who aren't handling the flight well: then the crew will engage them in conversation, offer them a drink or something to eat--all designed to lower the travelers' stress level. My stress was so low I decided I had to sleep. I easily dropped off and caught a four-hour nap. The cleverly designed seats have a headrest that bends to form a kind of a pillow: no embarrassing head drops onto your neighbor's shoulder...
