Prior football clashes between traditional rivals Harvard and Yale combined the pleasures of libation with the rigors of collegiate pigskin, but thanks to a new policy implemented by University Hall, the fall blowout at the hands of the Elis was accompanied by a small-scale Prohibition.
Even without Brown’s 2-0 win over the Elis in the first game of their doubleheader, Harvard ended its season before the first pitch of game two, which concluded with Harvard on the lucky end of a 7-6 slugfest.
Senior Marc Sawyer and sophomore Ryan Lavarnway, the prohibitive favorite to claim Ivy League Player of the Year honors, both had four hits for the Elis. Sawyer had singles to left field, center field, right field, and the infield as well as three runs scored.
This isn’t a team that is following a leader right now, and that means it isn’t a team that’s winning at Yale, in the tough New Haven environment the Elis have set up. The Bulldogs by eight.
With Harvard boasting the same All-Americans—running back Clifton Dawson and defensive tackle Michael Berg—as last year, things could look grim for the Elis.
