Three tournaments. Three victories. The Harvard women’s golf team continued its perfect start to the season by winning the Yale Fall Intercollegiate in New Haven, Conn., this weekend. The Crimson shot 301 yesterday, as the tournament was adjusted to one-round following heavy rain on Saturday. On the first day of play, Harvard got off to an early lead in the poor conditions.

That election was suspended, and Ahmed, a former central banker with a reputation for clean hands, was appointed to run the country with wide-ranging emergency powers.
