Of Foxes And Bulldogs

A special visitor stopped by this morning while I was working on the blog. He spent 10 minutes warily foraging for food at the edge of the woods where the show has receded.

Yale's spring football prospectus is up and can be found here. How returning "starters" are defined can vary from team to team, but here's what Yale has to say on that account:

Yale Starters Returning-Starters Lost
Offense
Quarterback: 1-1
Receiver: 3-0
Tight End: 2-0
Offensive Line: 1-5
Running Back Fullback: 0-2

Defense
DT/DE: 2-3
LB: 0-2
DB: 2-2

Special Teams
PK/P: 1-0
KOR/PR: 3-2

Green Alert Take: Yale joins UNH and Colgate as an early season Dartmouth foe that needs to largely rebuild its offensive line.

The Penn football team has joined with squads from Temple and Villanova in a bone marrow screening project tomorrow. The goal: 5,000 new enrollees in the National Bone Marrow Donor Program registry.

Kudos to the Dartmouth baseball team for making its first victory of the year a memorable one. The Big Green's 350th win in the career of coach Bob Whalen was over 16-4 San Jose State and came by a 7-4 score. Dartmouth closes its West Coast swing against No. 12 Cal Poly in beautiful San Luis Obispo before returning to the Northeast to open Ivy League play with a key pair of doubleheaders at Columbia and Princeton this weekend.

And finally, if you've been to a Dartmouth basketball game in the past half dozen years or so, you might have seen (or more likely heard) a fellow standing and loudly reading from a book by Dartmouth alum Dr. Seuss during opponent free throws. Love it or leave it, it's hard to ignore him. Who is he? (A regular reader of the blog for one thing ;-) The Washington Post has a story and photograph.
