...count of "number ones" continues throughout the day, candidates and their pollwatchers hang outside each little cubicle, keeping a running count much as they do under the usual election systems. Around five p.m., the count is over. and candidates, media, and hangers-on crowd to get the official announcement of this "unofficial" count.

The Tigers fought Penn with determination before losing 2-1 two weeks ago. Brown is weaker than usual. but it has never been an easy match. Yale has been decimated by injuries. but may be able to put something together...
