That's the appeal of 3:10 to Yuma, which opened Sept. 7 and was the box-office champ of its first weekend.

...have not taken part in the tri-meet since 1998. Yale’s Jake Gallagher won in 25:43, but Harvard took second, third, and fourth, led by captain Brian Holmquest, who finished second in 25:55. He was followed by fellow senior Christopher Green and freshman Dan Chenoweth. Yale took the fifth and sixth spots, but seventh and eighth went to senior Andrew Lipkin and sophomore Chas Gillespie, wrapping up Harvard’s scoring. “I was pleased with the way the whole team ran,” Holmquest said...
