...recondite mazes of Cubism, so open, so impregnable, are what followed. Very soon, with the ferocity and radical distortions of a single canvas, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Picasso would turn every other artist into cannon fodder and take from Matisse the leadership role within the avant-garde. Georges Braque and Andre Derain, onetime Fauvists, defected to Picasso's camp.

This season, the Bears have added some scoring to their traditionally feeble offense. Led by forward Les Haggett and Brent Robinson, Brown has four players scoring at a clip higher than any skater last season. Still, the Bears are at their best when relying on Danis and looking for counterattacking opportunities. Harvard swept Brown in last year’s ECAC playoffs despite Danis’ 66-save effort in Harvard’s double-overtime, 1-0 Game 2 victory...
