...more,” Rogers said. “We came out against Clarkson and did that. We identified where their penalty kill broke down and went at them.”Although Clarkson ranks below the Crimson in the league standings, the tie seems to be a confidence booster. Harvard has struggled mightily on the road this year, compiling a record of 0-11-5. The Crimson values all points it can muster away from home. “I just think we have to realize that you have to play a simpler game on the road in order...

"I was like, 'Why wouldn't you go to a rural area?'" he says. Baker-Trinity is an indefatigable local booster. "They're talking about making my whole town wireless!" he says enthusiastically. Equally smitten are his parishioners, like Howard Steinmetz. After decades working his farm--most of them minus a hand lost to a field chopper in 1959--Steinmetz is finally auctioning off the land. Selling, he says, "is tough...
