New York Magazine takes a look at Columbia's Campbell Sports Center. From the story:

The architects began by sketching football plays, and they, at least, still see those dots and squiggly arrows embedded in the final form.

I got a kick out of the writer saying of the architects, "they, at least," see it. As a writer, I've many times tried to say things without quite saying them. Do check out the picture of Campbell, shot from an interesting angle.

Dartmouth baseball improved to 10-1 yesterday with a win over Babson. The afternoon contest with Bradley was rained out and the Big Green and Braves will play two seven-inning affairs today to close out Dartmouth's Florida swing. Wide receiver Bo Patterson got two more hits, walked, was hit by a pitch and scored a couple of runs. He's now batting .412 while starting five of 10 games.

If the Crimson is going to make the Sweet 16 it will have to successfully deal with a player who That Certain Nittany Lion Freshman once played against in youth basketball. Kaleb Tarczewski of Claremont, N.H., towered over TCNLF in middle school. Now he towers over nearly everyone as a 7-foot, 255-pound freshman center for the Wildcats.
