...Harvard had disappointments they came in Ivy League play. An early season 1-0 loss to Cornell, a 3-0 defeat at Brown to snap its five-game winning streak, and a scoreless tie against Penn ruined the Crimson's chances of fighting Yale for the Ivy runner-up spot behind awesome Columbia...
...dropping ECT apparently leaves a gap in the psychiatric arsenal. Neither psychotherapy nor medication seems to help 20% to 30% of people with extreme depression-those who suffer excessive weight loss, insomnia, loss of sex drive and energy, or threaten or attempt suicide.

Two plays later, the Harvard front line smothered Rogan back at the Eli 45 to give Yale a fourth and 27 with...
