...slump all season. Attendance is down, and a recent race at Talladega Superspeedway drew 50,000 fewer fans than the same event a year ago. The NCAA is cutting travel costs to combat the economic downturn. The organization will reimburse schools for only two bags of luggage per traveler, which will produce an expected savings of $1.5 million per year.

James Kudelka stepped into this whirlwind in 2004, intending to create something fresh...
...superficial similarities. But tomorrow’s 1 p.m. matchup will hardly look the same on either side of the ball.The Crimson (4-1, 1-1 Ivy) boasts a slew of offensive weapons, from fifth-year senior quarterback Chris Pizzotti, who leads the league with over 300 yards passing per game to junior wideout Matt Luft, who leads the Ivies in receiving yards per game—Harvard’s threat through the air is undeniable.And then there’s Princeton (2-3, 1-1). Last weekend against Brown, the Tigers showcased three quarterbacks over the course...
