It was a close call for the Dartmouth jayvees Friday as they came within a blocked PAT of forcing overtime in a hard-fought 27-26 loss to Harvard. Full story and stats on Green Alert premium. For the Dartmouth report, click here.The Sports Network FCS guru David Coulson doesn't think much of Dartmouth's chances this afternoon against Harvard. His prediction: Harvard 40, Dartmouth 0. Coulson writes:
Dartmouth holds the distinction of being a part of some company teams wouldn't want to keep, with the third-longest losing streak in FCS at eight games. The streak isn't likely to end against 23rd-ranked Harvard.From Jake Novak over at Roar Lions Roar:
The Big Green have a chance to make their season with a win here, but it doesn't look probable.When you play Harvard, and the Crimson is having success, the Boston Herald pays attention. From today's preview of the Dartmouth (oops) Harvard game:
Like a lot of other teams (in New England) there really are no pushovers on our schedule,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy said. “Dartmouth’s been in a tough stretch, but they have tough kids and they have very good athletes and they’re very well-coached. There’s not much difference in teams in our league week-to-week.”The Boston Globe has a story about standout Harvard linebacker Eric Schultz in which he has this to say about today's game:
"Like Coach Murphy says, every game is a like a playoff game right now. Last year (in Harvard's run to the title), Dartmouth played us the toughest of all the Ivy League teams. We have a ton of respect for them. We have to finish out these last four games."Off the gridiron and on the ice, hockey season has begun. Really. Last night: Harvard 4, Dartmouth 1.

Dartmouth senior Ben True turned in a remarkable performance yesterday at the Heps cross country championship in New York City. The runner/skier who last year became the first Dartmouth runner to break the four-minute mile, won his third Heps cross country championship. He's the first runner from any school to take the title three times since Dartmouth's Jim Sapienza wrapped up his XC career in 1984. True slashed an astonishing 10 seconds off the meet record. (link)
And finally, that certain Hanover High junior runs today in New Hampshire's Meet of Champions, pitting the top six cross country teams from each division of last week's state championships. While Hanover is in the middle division, it easily won last week's state title and as the No. 5 ranked team in the northeast is heavily favored to win the Meet of Champions for the fifth year in a row. An injury that will keep the No. 5 runner from last week out of action today could be a concern, but there's pretty good depth, so we'll see. ... That certain Hanover High freshman's football team won its game on a two-point conversion in overtime last night (the kicker was hurt and they had no alternative after the opponent scored a TD and made the kick). The contest was essentially the first playoff game because the winner made the state playoffs and the loser saw its season end. Hanover's reward: A return encounter with Plymouth, the powerhouse that put 40-odd points on them in the first half of their regular-season game.
The framework of the grandstand at Dartmouth's new baseball facility has been going up in a hurry. Here's a look at the work going on Friday during the jayvee football game ...
