...quarter: A few things to watch for: Yale's Mike McLeod's 18-game touchdown streak is at risk here in the 4th. Corey Mazza is still looking for another touchdown catch to break the all-time Crimson receiving touchdowns record. Harvard, meanwhile, is on pace for the biggest win in The Game since a 45-7 Crimson triumph in 1982. The largest all-time margin was a 54-0 win by Yale in 1957, while Harvard's biggest...
...when Harvard and Yale met for the 85th time, both teams entered the contest with matching 8-0 records. But the Bulldogs were the heavy favorites: they were ranked in the top 20 nationally (before the Division I subdivisions existed), were riding a 16-game winning streak, and boasted the vaunted combination of quarterback Brian Dowling and halfback Calvin Hill...

The Crimson opened the game on a 12-2 run and also ripped off an 11-0 streak before intermission. “I was really pleased how we started the game this afternoon,” Amaker said. “We always talk about trying to deserve victory…We deserved it throughout today.” The Crimson handled the Demons by forcing turnovers, sharing...
...That streak, however, came to a rightful end when the University of Illinois retired the figure in February. Chief Illiniwek, portrayed by a student in buckskin clothes and face paint, is a racist symbol of older, less understanding times. At least seven Native American groups, local and national, have lobbied to eliminate him. The documentary “In Whose Honor?” traces one activist’s fight against Illinois’ “degrading depictions” of her fellow Native Americans...
