...last night’s game (5-5-10), did not play…The loss was Donato’s first to either of Harvard’s cross-town rivals, B.U. or B.C., in non-Beanpot play. The Crimson downed both squads when Donato was a rookie skipper in 2004-2005, and Harvard beat the Eagles and tied the Terriers last season…Freshman Alex Biega scored his second collegiate goal and is now fifth on the team with 5 points… Both teams’ power plays were scoreless on the night...
...idea that defeat in England didn't say anything too troubling about the strength of Australian cricket is being propagated by virtually everyone associated with the home squad, from Ponting down. In post-mortems, the skipper has avoided the conclusion that England might now have better players than Australia does. Instead, he's argued that Australia simply had a poor series in which their discipline lapsed and their attitude was never quite right ?fixable problems caused by a lack of concentration in practice.

...Another question mark hangs over the captaincy of Ponting. With a winning percentage of 73, he's Australia's most successful skipper. Under him, Australia have lost only three of 30 Tests?it's just that two of those meant bidding adi?s to the Ashes. Though the numbers don't suggest it, Ponting?at least at this stage of his tenure?isn't the leader Mark Taylor was. A statesman as well as a winner, Taylor had the edge in imagination: he knew when to desist with the orthodox and try the unexpected, and he stepped in when...
...young challenger taking aim at his new record two years down the line. Polhemus is a talented and mobile (and scandal-touched) junior signal-caller like O’Hagan, but lags behind the Crimson starter in big-game polish. Harvard head coach Tim Murphy and Bulldogs skipper Jack Siedlecki, assistants together at Lafayette in the early 80’s, have three and a half Ancient Eight titles between them; Murphy has three of those.Upstart Yale, however, picked fifth in the preseason media poll, can earn at least a share of the Ivy League crown in 2006 with...
