Good aggressive play resulted in the Crimson's third goal at 26:00 when sophomore wing Sue Field scraped a ball off the Brown goalie's pads and poked...
...ever-increasing strength of women is needed to make old Crimson codgers begin to believe that power is more than a myth, let them consider this. In the lightweight men's race a Radcliffe eight, all women, outraced a Colgate eight, all men.

One mark of Grass's success is the uneasiness he caused the average German of his own World War II generation. In a tradition where philosophy and history stand on pedestals of grand abstractions, Grass...
