...nascent Harvard women's squash juggernaut split forces this weekend, half the squad sustaining the team's early season roll over dual match opponents with a 7-0 romp over Bowdoin, and the other half, led by freshman Diana Staley, advancing the Crimson reputation in the women's squash establishment with creditable individual performances at the Princeton Squad Invitational...

...option play early, to test a suspect Eli secondary, and on those occasions when the first stringer goes in motion. Allard is going to have to throw with authority. He did so last week against Penn, completing eight-of-ten, helping Harvard to its 45-7 romp. Harvard may be forced to throw, since the Elis are great at defending...

That play set him coasting on his way to 188 yards on 15 carries (a 12.5 average), including another long touch-down romp--a 66-yard scamper in the third quarter--and three touchdowns.

...some were more alike than others." Dirk Dolfin, a one-man Dutch conglomerate with wavy blond hair and dazzling teeth, possesses the two essentials of a De Vries hero: galloping lust and crawling remorse. He is as briskly efficient at lovemaking as he is at self-reproach. After a romp among the paper clips, Dirk's afterplay consists of pillow talk about eternal damnation. Then, subsequent to monologues on, say, the doctrine of supralapsarianism, the old Dutch cleanser marches his partner to the tub and scours her flesh with the same manic energy normally devoted to saucepans...
