Harvard will be hard-pressed to match its accomplishments of last winter, when the Crimson racked up 21 wins en route to a share of the Ivy League title with Dartmouth. Included among Delaney Smith's victims last year were Boston University, Boston College, Rice, Vermont, Maine and the University of Massachusetts. However, the cagers' impressive record (21-5, 12-2 Ivy League) and resume of victories over tough, non-league opponents still wasn't enough to garner an NCAA or NWIT tournament bid.

So Angwin called up the Gates Rubber Co. in Scotland, maker of the chic Wellies, which designed a buckled, foot-high Hobble Boot with a sole in the shape of a hoof. Angwin has ordered 500 boots at $24 each, and estimates he will save roughly $1,800 a year on veterinary...
