...Vance swiping a league-leading 25 bases. With Vance and Salsgiver, who stole 18 bags in 20 attempts, Harvard led the Ivy League in stolen bases by a comfortable margin with 86.Returning to Cambridge the following weekend, Harvard dropped a heart-breaking 1-0 pitcher’s duel to Penn in the cold and rain before rebounding to down the Quakers in the nightcap and take two from Columbia. Then the Crimson turned its attention to its Rolfe Division foes, splitting with Yale on the road and nabbing three of four from visiting Brown. Those results set the stage...
Back in 1835, Alexis de Tocqueville prophesized a bipolar future with Russia and the United States as opposed master puppeteers. The duel of course, is passé today. Russia is technically a democracy, a supporter of free markets which strives to join the World Trade Organization, and the host of the G8 summit this July in St. Petersburg. Especially in this context, the West must remember that nothing has really changed since the times of either Peter the Great or Lenin: Russia cares about its pride, not about global security.

...Stiller is a very smart, talented pitcher,” Brown said. “We want to emphasize our pitch selection, and make him throw strikes down the middle.

Steady rains postponed an afternoon non-conference duel between the Crimson (20-18-1, 14-6 Ivy) and crosstown foe Northeastern at the Huskies’ Parsons Field. The game has been rescheduled for today at 3 p.m. The rivals last met on April 18 at Fraser Field in Lynn, Mass. for the first round of the Beanpot...
...battled against one of the best pitching staffs in the Ivy League. The Crimson won the first game 1-0 and fell in the second game 2-1. PRINCETON 2, HARVARD 1 The second game of the twinbill, like Game One, was a pitcher’s duel. Freshman Bailey Vertovez started for Harvard and was relieved by sophomore Amanda Watkins after three innings. The pair allowed only one run apiece and proved to be stiff competition for Princeton hurler Kristen Schaus, who entered the weekend with a 1.89 ERA, the third best in the Ivy League. Schaus held...
