Splitting ranks between the Harvard-hosted Crimson Multi Meet and the Terrier Invitational at Boston University on Friday and Saturday, the Harvard co-ed track and field team notched two event wins, five ECAC and IC4A qualifiers, and 17 top-10 finishes. “I was really pleased with how we competed,” Crimson coach Jason Saretsky said. “Coming off of final exams is always pretty tricky, so it’s good to see we’re all ramped up for this indoor series.” Freshman John Dingus provided...
...After Friday has a close encounter with Animal Control, Andi reconsiders the wisdom of keeping their beloved pet; maybe she and Bruce aren't giving him the stable home every clever Jack Russell terrier deserves. If the Scudders knew about him, they'd likely puree him for dinner. It almost seems as though we're about to head into some tough ethical territory, a sort of tween version of the 2008 critics' darling Wendy and Lucy, which featured Michelle Williams wrestling with the bleak prospect that her beloved dog might have a better life with someone else. Then Friday leads...
...Brash was the tone for several actors who died last year. Van Johnson, 92, was the boy-next-door type, wooing such luscious ingenues as Elizabeth Taylor, Esther Williams, June Allyson and Janet Leigh. But he laced his altar-boy grin with a terrier's raspy impatience; he was the Chris Matthews of 1940s MGM.

Maurice Melzak, editor of Petstreet, a social networking site for pet enthusiasts, says his dog, an Airedale terrier named Roxy, clearly has a sense of fair play and justice. She also demonstrates guilt. Once, when Melzak found empty food wrappers on the kitchen counter and asked who did it, "immediately Roxy's tail went between her legs, she had this really sheepish expression on her face...
...little embarrassed.” Harvard came within as few as seven points during the second half and played that period to a 36-36 tie, but it needed far more to climb out of its deep first-half hole. Nine of those first 15 Terrier points came from star forward Jesyka Burks-Wiley, who ended the night with 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the floor and added five rebounds. She got plenty of help: each of the other four BU starters scored in double figures, with Aly Hinton and Kristi Dini chipping in nine and seven...
