Gibson '03, the third roommate, remembers, "Jake was like, 'No, it's right on my desk.'" But when Rubin checked his desk, he saw his hat wasn't where he left it.

At the bottom of the barrel, Stevens found Gibson's backpack with his TI-86 calculator and history of the USSR notebook. Stevens' Harvard I.D., his debit card...
...Meanwhile, Captain Rubin and the Fly-Bys were having problems of their own. Rubin remembers, "We were under the minimum by one player--Geoffrey Stevens." Despite being a player short, the four Fly-Bys put up a good fight in an unofficial exhibition game, losing a hard fought 4-3 game...
