...Cross and a comeback against lowly Princeton. The team with copious options in the attacking third was suddenly stricken with an inability to find the back of the net. What was once seamless play quickly transformed into long-ball tactics and sloppiness in the midfield. Dartmouth marched onto Ohiri Field and ended all hope of an Ivy title with a 1-0 victory. But November brought the Crimson back to life. After a harrowing October, the team—relieved from the pressure of defending its Ivy crown—eviscerated its next three opponents, including a 4-0 demolition...

Hooked up to a harness, he darts back and forth across the roped-off minefield - then, suddenly, he freezes in his tracks, sniffing the air. After a concentrated pause, he scratches vigorously at the ground, a signal to his handler, Shirima Vendeline Emmanuel, who stands in a safe zone a few yards away that he has found a landmine. "Good boy, Samo," shouts Emmanuel, as he scampers over to receive his reward - a banana. Samo is not some exploited child-soldier, however; he is a bristly giant...
