...Crimson booters didn't knock in any goals on their own. Instead, under intense pressure from the Harvard forward line, the Tufts' fullbacks twice (yes, twice) dumped the ball into their own net, and Harvard walked away with its second consecutive 2-0 win of the still-young season...
...wonder the westerners weren't watching the field. Instead their attention focused on the reunion among undergrads after a long summer (classes don't start until October 1) and among graduates after years. Several thousand miles and 49 years later, was the Cardinal's journey in vain? The band would say no; they showed Boston that no matter who wins the game, a jubilee is anybody's ball...

At week's end the Patriarchate and bishops of Crete worked out a plan to shuffle episcopal assignments so the see of Kisamos eventually can be opened for Eirinaios' return. But street mobs were demanding that he be restored immediately...
