The point of all this craziness? If not to see dignified scientists make complete fools of themselves, it must be to reveal the true world of science and academics to an unsuspecting public, said John A. Barrett, official Ig Nobel referee and an administrative assistant in the physics department.
Maybe the Crimson wouldn't have suffered a letdown following its 2-0 whitewashing of Cornell (4-2-2, 2-1-0) if yesterday's referee had studied the rulebook a little more closely.
But controversy struck the Crimson 10 minutes later when the referee ruled that a Harvard defender had sent a deliberate pass back to Krein, who corraled the ball with her hands.
The second-half clock passes the 45-minute mark, and the crowd begins to whistle or jeer for the referee to blow his whistle three times and end the game.
College soccer isn't like this. The referee instructs the scoreboard operator to stop the clock with each injury or goal stoppage, and when the clock read, say, "0-04" in Tuesday's men's game between Harvard and New Hampshire, there were exactly four seconds to play.
