A couple of Ivy League grads once again appear on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot. From that ballot:Charlie Gogolak, Princeton-Placekicker- 1965 First Team All-American. . .

(To be honest, it was Charlie's brother Pete who was recognized as the first soccer-styler, at Cornell.) Again, strictly off the bios that some voters rely on, it's probably not a surprise that Jauron hasn't made it.

With football scholarships coming to the Patriot League this may change in the future, but this year's list of Holy Cross recruits doesn't seem to include any names that kept popping up in searches of possible Dartmouth recruits over the past few months.•
Snow in the forecast with the chance for – and this sounds almost silly – our biggest accumulation since Halloween. Depending on who got it right, we could get anywhere from 6-12 inches tonight. Doubtful That Certain Hanover High Senior is the only kid who will be working at least one of these angles tonight. Keep your fingers crossed for him.
