...gotta do the rock band,’” Kultgen said. For Start, Go!, the Battle turned out to be a surprisingly auspicious beginning. Chris Powers, the singer, song-writer and guitarist for Start, Go! said their first performance together was exhilarating but not perfect. Powers, a senior computer science major at the Extension School, broke a guitar string in the middle of a song. He had a spare, but he didn’t realize that guitar’s jack was broken. He finished the set with the broken string. The glitch did not prevent Start...

But going into the home stretch of the Ivy schedule, the Crimson will have to perfect its special teams play for its final contests at Penn and against Yale at home. The Quakers’ top returner, defensive back Chris Wynn, averages about 20 punt return yards per game and 50 kick return yards per game, and Penn leads the league in both average punt return...
