HOLD THE PRESSES: Late last night the mystery of Harvard's 53-0 victory over Dartmouth in 1882 was solved. According to detectives in the Harvard Sports Publicity Office, it appears that since 1974 Harvard has been trying to pull a fast one on the Big Green.
That was the year the score that had previously been recorded in Harvard football media guides as 8-0 suddenly became 53-0.
Officials in the Harvard office said the typo will be corrected in future Crimson media guides.
