...showers for early today. All that rain could produce a muddy field for today's encounter. However, the poor conditions might help Harvard more than Tufts.

(Cambridge City Council promised last year to examine the tax-exempt status of the three non-taxed houses.) As for expansion, Harvard attempts to contain its student population so that...
