Max Heiges '10, the backup quarterback whose genuine friendliness always brightened the day on the practice field, is on campus this fall as a studio art intern. Of the sculpture called Juggling he has on display in the Barrows Rotunda, Heiges has this to say:

“I thought the precarious balance would catch people’s attention, and the cans provided a sound structural element to the piece. And I like beer. I like Keystone.”

Curious (but probably no surprised if you know Max)? Find a story and photo of the sculpture in The Dartmouth.

The National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Inc., has a release about the emcee of the program that will reveal the winner of the Asa Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League player of the year.

From This Week in College Football History on the National Football Foundation site:

November 7, 1925 - Andy "Swede" Oberlander threw a then-NCAA-record six touchdown passes in a game as Dartmouth stopped Cornell 62-13 in Hanover, N.H. The Big Green downed College Football Hall of Famer Amos Alonzo Stagg's Chicago Maroons 33-7 one week later in Chicago to finish the season at 8-0.

Nasty weather forecast today with rain and snow showers. Good thing practice was already slated for Memorial Field. ... Speaking of forecasts, the weather people are calling for rain/snow and 40 degrees in Ithaca Saturday. It's just a hunch, but the guess here is fans will be more disappointed about that than anyone in the Dartmouth coaching offices.
