'Twas the night before Dartmouth and all through the Square,
Cager fans were gathered, shouting "Big Green beware."
For this was The Game for the women of Briggs Cage,
The lady hoopsters from Harvard--you know the big rage.
They were 12 up and five down and well on their way
To playing the kind of b-ball all knew they could play.
Collins, Brown, Chandler; Keffer and Hayes,
And a whole cast of others continue to amaze.
First it was Princeton, then Yale, and Brown too;
A win over Dartmouth would be nothing new.
The first time they met, it was something to see,
The Crimson prevailed, 66-63.
But that was last month, before the Ivies got tight,
Before the race for first place came down to one night.
It's all up to them; they'll determine their fate--
My bet is on Harvard, 59-58.
