Last weekend was supposed to be the first step to securing that crown. Instead of making a huge statement, the Crimson went out and split two games, beating UMass-Amherst 3-1, but dropping the more critical divisional game 4-1 against Brown. It was not the most ideal beginning, but one successful enough not to discourage anyone...
...long process of organization and splintering followed the riots. As groups spring up with well-defined purposes, members leave to found their own societies with differing goals.

Some say they were angry that their mother group, Earth First!, wouldn't promote sabotage. Others theorize that Earth Firsters orchestrated the split to deflect blame for "monkey wrenching," as these tactics are called, from the main organization. Whatever the case, Fedor says the ELFs are experienced monkey wrenchers. Last year they allegedly helped torch two facilities in Oregon used to corral and slaughter wild horses, and they are the suspected culprits...
