...first blunder came on just the fifth play from scrimmage with the Crimson in its own territory. Lucky for Harvard the ball was fumbled far enough forward for junior lineman Zach Copple to fall on it for the first down. In the second half, the Crimson fumbled twice on a single drive...

"The fundamental principle of China's foreign policy for the last three or four years has been to do nothing that will alert the world to China's arrival as a world power," Campbell says.
