...again with the title at stake. The Crimson controls its own destiny with a single point lead atop the standings on both Brown and Dartmouth, who play each other this week. As long as the Bears and Big Green do not tie, Harvard must defeat the Quakers on Saturday to clinch the conference...

All his classmates work like this after school...
