Another moment of silence was observed Saturday afternoon when Yale Athletic Director Thomas A. Beckett announced the death of Nicholas Grass, who had been in critical condition since the accident, to the crowd at the women’s basketball game against Brown University.
Maria J. Smear, captain of the women’s basketball team, said she and her teammates had contemplated cancelling Saturday’s game out of respect for the accident victims, but decided to play as scheduled to honor the memories of their friends.
