Around the Ivy

Dartmouth named Mike Rabil and Preston Copley captains last week. Just announcing their captains are Brown and Penn. Released earlier were names of Columbia's captains. Harvard made its selection public at its season-ending banquet....

Driving by Memorial Field late in the week there's a piece of heavy equipment (don't ask me if it's a front-end loader or a bulldozer 'cause I won't be any help) that has dug up a pile of blacktop behind the south end zone. That's the first sign of Stage II of the Memorial Field project. The original word a couple of months ago was that "the bulldozers would be lined up" to start work on May 15 -- Monday -- with the conclusion of the track season. We'll see. I'm confident everything will be done in time for the season, but this morning's newspaper had a scary little tidbit out of nearby Hanover High School, which is installing its own turf field. Apparently delays over there mean they'll be opening their season back on the grass. Stuff happens. Hopefully it won't happen on the Dartmouth project.
