...tournament bracket pits Harvard against top-ranked defending champion Wisconsin. The quarterfinal showdown is set for 8 p.m. Saturday night in Madison, Wisc. The pairing of the sixth-ranked Crmison with the Badgers, the tournament’s top seed, reflects the desire of the selection committee to avoid intra-conference matchups, as the coupling of Harvard with its logical opponent, No. 3 Dartmouth, would have been.

(Not surprisingly, we dominated in Wiffleball.) By day I was trained to be a History...
