...them." One afternoon, a woman walked in and when Vicky saw her, she stood up, walked around her desk and the two women embraced for almost a minute. Vicky said, "That was Mrs. Bossert, the former master. She's special. There's a word for it. They were open. She used to bake everything herself for Thursday tea. She started early Wednesday and she enjoyed it. There was this one pastry that was like chocolate cake outside, and whipped cream inside. It was something else...
...season has been a strange one for the Harvard football team. After two wins to open the season, the team dropped consecutive contests in heartbreaking fashion to Colgate and Cornell. They rebounded strongly, winning their next three games before falling to the Brown University Bears--the team ranked number one by most Ivy League preseason polls--to all but mathematically assure the team of a finish short of the championship.

...Harvard's stoic Soldiers Field is the Versailles Palace of I-AA football stadiums, then the Yale Bowl is probably best described as its Wal-Mart equivalent. Opened in 1914, the Bowl now has capacity for over 64,000 fans; at one point, before renovations, it could and, on occasion, did hold over 70,000.

Siedlicki now looks to take the next step, with his team at 8-1 and poised to take a share of the league title...
...Yale scored the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter on the legs of its quarterback. With the ball on the Penn 47-yard-line, Walland fumbled a snap but managed to recover and gain 18 yards on the broken play. On the next play, with nothing but open field in front of him on a play-action pass, Walland kept the ball and rushed in from 29 yards out for the game-winning score...
