With freshman Kyle Snowden back from his ankle injury, Harvard's interior defense, at least, should be better. This is good thing, since Cornell's All-Ivy Second Team for ward, Zeke Marshall, erupted against the Crimson for 26 points weeks...
...Keepers of light, No. 7 (1987-93), Ward takes a bold step, in the tradition of the minimalists, by expanding the canvas, or more precisely, the field of vision which encompasses the relationship between the viewer and the surrounding space.
