Harvard Surrenders Game, First Place to Dartmouth
By LOREN AMOR
Wednesday, January 07, 2009 12:24 AM
It’s been a season of tough bounces, bad luck, and lost chances for the Harvard women’s hockey team.
Last night against No. 8 Dartmouth at Bright Hockey Center, the Crimson missed yet another opportunity, this one to take first place in the ECAC and start its climb back into the national rankings.
NOTEBOOK: Crimson Blanked Again, Hurt by Missed Chances
Balanced Effort Keys Big-Time Win Four score in double figures as Harvard overcomes size disadvantage By TED KIRBY Sunday, January 04, 2009 10:34 PM The Harvard men’s basketball team opened 2009 in the best way possible, besting Santa Clara 73-68 at Lavietes Pavilion on Friday. The Crimson (7-6) got balanced scoring production, as four players were in double figures. Junior guard Jeremy Lin led the way with 17 points, and junior forward Doug Miller scored a career-best 15 points. Senior guard Drew Housman had 16, and freshman forward Peter Boehm added 13.
New Year Starts with Tough Home Defeat By KATE LEIST Sunday, January 04, 2009 10:37 PM The new year was supposed to be a new start for the Harvard women’s hockey team, but instead, 2009 just brought more of the same. The Crimson (5-6-3, 5-3-2 ECAC) suffered another disappointing loss on Friday night, falling to conference rival Princeton (8-8-1, 5-5-0), 1-0, at Bright Hockey Center.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Forward Comes Up Big Against Taller Team By TED KIRBY Tuesday, January 06, 2009 9:36 PM As the Harvard men’s basketball team got ready to face Santa Clara last Friday, it appeared to be in a bit of trouble up front. Hamstrung by multiple injuries and facing a Broncos team with huge 6’11”, 275-pound John Bryant and two other players taller than the tallest member of the Crimson, it would have been understandable if Harvard ended up on the short end of things. But luckily for the Crimson, it was Miller time.
Crimson Moves to 5-0 on Season By ALEXANDRA J. MIHALEK Sunday, January 04, 2009 9:40 PM The Harvard men’s swimming and diving team began the new year with a bang, defeating previously-unbeaten Navy 188-112 at Blodgett Pool Saturday. The Crimson, currently tied for first in the Ivy League with perennial rival Princeton, improved its record to 5-0 and 3-0 in the Ivy League.
First Victory Lone Bright Spot in Tough Vacation By MAX N. BRONDFIELD Sunday, January 04, 2009 9:38 PM With that elusive first victory behind it, the Crimson can start looking to turn some close losses in its favor. The Harvard wrestling team (1-5) finished winter break at the Lonestar Duals Saturday in Arlington, Texas, besting Stanford 24-21 before dropping close matches to Cal Poly and No. 7 Minnesota, 16-19 and 20-28, respectively.
Final Minutes Prove Downfall By LUCY D. CHEN Sunday, January 04, 2009 10:20 PM The bad bounces continued for the Harvard men’s hockey team (4-9-2, 4-4-2 ECAC) as it dropped a 5-2 decision to Quinnipiac at the TD Banknorth Garden on Friday night.

E(ast)-Recruiting
By BENJAMIN K. GLASER
Like many students from mainland China, Yichen Chen
’11, a native of Beijing, had to navigate the application process
largely on her own. A loose network of friends, including other
applicants, served as guides. But Harvard administrators, like Dean of
Admissions and Financial Aid William R. Fitzsimmons ’67 and President
Drew Gilpin Faust, hope to increase Harvard’s presence in mainland
China.

By JULIA S CHEN
Jamaica Kincaid, world-renowned author of short
stories, novels and essays, has finally returned to Harvard after a
recent sabbatical. Back as a visiting lecturer, Kincaid dishes on plant
collecting, the future of British journalists, and how to write—and

Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum
By MEAGHAN E LYONS
At 7 a.m. on November 21 (Game Day) members of the
Harvard University Band were already outside braving the sub-zero
temperatures at Harvard Stadium—without a mimosa in sight. For The Band, The Game is not only the highlight of the season,
but the changing of the guards. While the (victorious!) event ushered
seniors out in style, it was just the beginning for the juniors who are
now running the show. |
