A Page Out Of History

Before heading across the river to Vermont to cheer on that certain Hanover High sophomore in the Covered Bridges Half Marathon (her more sensible brother is playing golf today) ... a couple of fun ones for you.

To read a 1913 New York Times story about Dartmouth agreeing to wear numbers on its uniforms in a game against the Carlisle Indians, click here (PDF page). In case you are wondering, Carlisle won the game, 35-13.

Do you remember Jay Fiedler on the cover of Sports Illustrated when he was with the Dolphins? Find that cover here. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the SI Jinx absolutely took a bite out of Fiedler the next week. Jay had two fumbles and two interceptions in a 42-10 loss to the Rams.
