There have been some famous ties in Harvard history, like the year 1968 when Harvard "beat" Yale 29-29, but last Saturday's tie earned this year's team a dubious honor. The game marked the first time that a Crimson team scored more than 30 points and didn't win.

That's the first time ever. Ever, as in 118 years and 1,050 games.

Scoreboard-listening

There was a lot for Harvard fans to cheer about early in Saturday's game. Not only was the Crimson doing a job on Dartmouth, but the P.A. announcer kept repeating that score from New Haven--Penn 6, Yale 3.

Only towards the game's end, when the tide changed for the Crimson, was the crowd alerted of the Elis' reawakening and subsequent trouncing of the Quakers, 31-12.

Things also sounded good from Providence, where Brown played host to Cornell. The Bruins couldn't hold off the Big Red, though, succumbing 20-17.

Just in the Nick o' Time

Last week was a good week for Ivy League quarterbacks named Nick. Yale's Nick Crawford garnered offensive Player of the Week honors. The senior from Kingsport, Tennessee rushed 24 times for 204 yards and two touchdowns.

Crawford's 204 yards on the ground was the most in school history, and the third-best overall performance in Yale history.

Brown's Nick Richardson, on the other hand, gained his yards through the air. Richardson passed for 262 yards, the ninth-highest total in the history of Bruin football.

So what if his name isn't Nick?

Cornell quarterback Bill Lazor racked up 321 yards in the air on 31-of-50 passing to earn Sophomore of the Week honors. Lazor showed a flair for the dramatic, connecting for the game-winning touchdown with only five seconds remaining.
