Harvard’s two most popular and most widely publicized sports—by almost any definition—are men’s hockey and football. And conveniently, there are recent examples in both of these sports wherein the University was complacent and allowed coaches to wallow in mediocrity for too long...
When Ian Wallace’s perfect bases-loaded, suicide squeeze capped a three-run, ninth-inning comeback in a Game 4 victory over Brown yesterday, the Harvard baseball team rushed onto the diamond to pound fists and high five and wallow in the joy of another clutch performance in a must-have game...
