...defense for the rest of the half. In the 39th minute, captain and center back Will Craig rose to head a ball out of the box to end Dartmouth’s run, but instead of the ball, he hit another player’s head, causing a huge gash and his departure from the game. But after taping his head, Craig returned in the second half to lead the team’s attempt to fight off the odds.“Craig was a rock in the back,” Altchek said...

Overwhelmed, Keith passes out on the floor as a swirl of images, including a foot with a gash and a hand covering a pubis, swirl before him, setting the tone of intense sexual danger that hangs over the book...

Weeks before, in a qualifying bout, Forrest Griffin, 26, had suffered a gash above an eye that required so many stitches that few expected him to advance in the contest. He healed in time for this evening's punishment, and as Stephan Bonnar, 28, punched him in the head, Griffin cheekily offered a come-hither smile, turned the other cheek and slammed back...
