A girl with brown lines painted on her face blew on a banana (tied on a string around her neck) and wistfully described the Chunky bar she had eaten for lunch. Most of the other women in the room stared into mirrors, ratting hair, applying pancake, and blowing up balloons in the empty stretches of time, all over a continual underbuzz of conversation.

Yale will now probably roll on to an undisputed Ivy championship without having to break a sweat. Harvard, on the other hand, has now lost three contests that hinged on a single match.
