...Crimson will travel to Philadelphia for a Friday night matchup against the Quakers (7-1 overall, 0-0 Ivy) in the Palestra, then cross the Delaware River for a chance at Princeton (6-5 overall, 0-0 Ivy) in the Jadwin Gym. Neither locale has been particularly friendly to the Crimson (5-5 overall...
This is the best of all possible worlds for the rapidly-improving Harvard squad. The Crimson doesn't have to wait three months to measure itself against the nation's best, nor does it have to judge its national success on a non-conference novelty matchup here and there...
...wearing a "Barkin for Harkin" sandwich board got an arf (former Harkin aides were present). The eeriest reverse deja-vu moment came when the camera caught Begala outside a hotel doing his drop-dead Perot imitation to abc's Mark Halperin's decent Al Gore, a preview of the matchup the night before on Larry King Live.

...since taking the title from Holyfield, but he barely worked up a sweat to achieve first- and second-round knockouts against over-the-hill pugs Michael Dokes and Jesse Ferguson. Looking beyond this Saturday's fight, some fight fans think they might see Bowe under some strain in a matchup with Lennox Lewis, the British boxer who defeated him in the 1988 Olympics. Lewis, another 6-ft. 5-in. power tower, inherited one of Bowe's three heavyweight titles after Bowe and his manager-mentor, Rock Newman, rejected the World Boxing Council's timetable for a fight with the Brit...
