...Crimson's power to revive the Third Page section of Thursday? In the past, I looked forward to the incisive, intelligent and informative reviews of Paul K. Rowe.

With wins over Fordham, Navy, Villanova and Davidson besides the Quaker conquest, the Tigers have shown a balanced scoring attack and a spartan defense. By holding Penn to 49 points, Princeton's frugal defensive unit shaved off some 30 points from the Quakers' normal point output...
