...fence badly against bad competition, and that's why I lost," said Tom Keller, number one foil man on Harvard's fencing team after his loss to an underdog Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute foilman on Thursday. "You just don't know how a poor fencer will react--whether he will spot your fake and react as you would expect or just stand there...
...Harvard basketball team has not had a great week. Wednesday night, they lost to Navy, 70-58. Thursday afternoon, just before practice, two year letterman Barth Royer revealed that doctors had forbidden him to play for the rest of the season. And tonight, the Crimson faces one of New England's better small college teams, Springfield, in the second contest of a four-game road trip...

They must step on a helpless creature, if only to prove to themselves that they are alive...

But when they are not perpetrating evil, when they are just talking among themselves like two life-sentence criminals waiting it out in jail, the play becomes dull...
