Last fall a Green Alert blog posting told about football players from Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island helping raise money to keep rival Roosevelt High School's program going.

Teams have been coming into Allen Fieldhouse to play Kansas for more than half a century. Every one of them managed to score more points than helplessly outmanned Dartmouth Tuesday night.
