Not all the football players rooting on the Big Green were in the stands. Make that, not all the ex-football players were in the stands.
From the notes at the end of a STORY about the Dartmouth sweep that appears in today's local daily:
Watching and cheering from a third-story rooftop across Park Street were Dartmouth seniors and former football players Kirby Schoenthaler, Will Guinee, Patrick Hand and Rob Lauzen. The quartet at one point had a grill cooking alongside them, but were instructed to remove the device by members of the Hanover Fire Department. “Bad timing,” Schoenthaler lamented. “The cheeseburgers were just about done.”For the record, Dartmouth is 10-4 in the Ivy League race while Harvard is 7-7. Both teams have doubleheaders today before they face off against each other in home-and-home twinbills next week. The Big Green's magic number is four.
Across the road, by the way, the Dartmouth softball team saw its 11-game winning streak snapped in a split with Brown but still sits comfortably atop the north division race with a 12-2 record. Harvard is next at 10-4 with both teams playing doubleheaders today ,and the rivals facing off in a pair of twinbills next weekend.

Speaking of Harvard, the Charlotte Observer has a lengthy look at Harvard's Zach Hodges, who had to overcome a lot of hurdles before landing in Cambridge and, he hopes, in the NFL. The defensive end projected as an outside linebacker might be a late-round draft pick.
