Bill Hambrecht, a 1957 Princeton graduate, and Google senior executive Tim Armstrong are working on developing the United Football League with Mark Cuban as their first team owner. Find a New York Times story here. The hope is that the UFL will kick off its first preseason games in August of 2008 and broadcast games on Friday nights. ...
The new Floren Varsity House will feature an historical exhibit of Dartmouth football memorabilia. A scan of eBay listings suggests that the online auction site could be a gold mine for stocking the display. Check out this post card of the 1905 Dartmouth 11 that had a bid of $15.50 on it this morning. ... This 1955 football card of Ed Dooley was selling for a flat $14.95. ... 
The guess here is that as work continues on the display a call will go out to see what other neat stuff is out there, from old equipment to trophies and awards, etc.Yale offensive lineman Ed McCarthy was wearing a pair of rabbit ears when he won the school's top award for senior male athletes on Class Day according to this story. He had a tryout with the Tampa Bay Bucs but was not offered a contract.
The Dartmouth women's basketball team has been the top program in the Ivy League over the years and one of the reasons why is terrific coaching. The problem with having valued assistants is they are valued by other schools as well and the past couple of weeks have shown that. Assistant coach Chris Leazier is leaving to become head coach at St. Anselm College and today assistant coach (and former Dartmouth star) Courtney Banghart is being introduced as the new head coach at Princeton. Congratulations to both.
