...Crimson diving corps had a tough day in their matchup against Ivy League superstars Chris Moses and Mary Lincer. Although sophomore Adriana Holy managed a second in the 1-meter and junior Pam Stone a third in the 3-meter, the Tiger divers were almost untouchable with their tightly-executed performances that often earned them scores of seven or higher...
...reflection of Davis and the old A.F.L., a collection of castoffs and young players who manage, with guile and grinding tenacity, to survive in spite of the odds.

In short, don't bother looking for a ticket if you don't already have one. Harvard has sold all of the 40,000 tickets available, so only the scalpers will be dealing today. If you're interested, bring plenty of money--you are going to have to pay to see this...
