Harvard's other two wins came at the sixth and ninth spots as junior Beitchman (def. Josh Miller 15-12, 15-12, 11-15, 17-15) and freshman Andrew Merril (def. Duncan Pearson, 12-15, 15-6, 15-12, 11-15, 15-12) emerged victorious...

It had been sent to the school by overnight mail from DreamWorks, and the whole history department was aflutter. The graphics were compelling, the subject matter gripping, but as Henry sat in the faculty lounge carefully perusing the glossy pages, his heart began to sink.
