With seven talented freshmen joining the other seven skilled upperclassmen on the team, Harvard is ready to not only get its first road win in over a year, but also to establish itself within the Ivy League as one of the teams to beat.“I don’t know if there was a solution out for that,” Housman says. “We were just so bad last year.

George Washington didn’t have to make us laugh; he just had to establish precedents and avoid chopping down more cherry trees than he could possibly help. But somewhere along the line, Americans began expecting their Presidents to do more than just govern. They also had to make us laugh.
