Princeton boasts a young, talented defense that should go a long way toward curbing Harvard’s offensive explosion of last season. The Tiger offense, however, lost its top wide-reciever, B.J. Szymanski, to the MLB draft. It’s top returning running back, Jon Veach, had a field day against the Crimson, gaining 205 yards, but struggled against everyone else, posting just 437 yards in the other nine contests. Quarterback Matt Verbit had a strong 2003, but is no where near the Alvin Cowan or Ryan Fitzpatrick echelon...

...Performance of the Week On the final day of last week's Deutsche Bank Championship near Boston, VIJAY SINGH proved once again what has become increasingly clear all year: he's the world's best golfer.

Every solution mentioned by the scientists and conservationists is worth trying. We owe these animals our best efforts. Gillian Beach Cieri West Palm Beach, Florida...
...Changi Airport dedicated to discount carriers. There will be no bells and whistles: travelers will have to walk across the tarmac to board planes after the $26 million terminal opens in 2006. Low-fare carriers have been promised savings of about 20% on terminal-related costs. So far only Tiger Airways has signed on, but authorities hope the terminal will handle about 2.7 million passengers a year.
