NEW YORK—As The Crimson indicated in Friday’s Around the Ivies column, Harvard football couldn’t rest on its laurels Saturday against Columbia.

In Saturday’s 42-21 drubbing of Dartmouth, Harvard football was bolstered by its ground attack, as two players rushed for 100-plus yards—the first time two Crimson players have accomplished such a feat since 1999.

It only took a minute and a half for the Harvard football team to begin erasing the bitter memory of last week’s loss to Lafayette. In Saturday’s contest against Princeton (1-5, 0-3 Ivy), the Crimson (4-2, 3-0 Ivy) used three plays in its first drive—a pair of one-yard rushes and a 77-yard bomb from junior quarterback Collier Winters to classmate Chris Lorditch—to tack seven points on the board, en route to a 37-3 drubbing of the Tigers.

After Harvard football’s narrow win over Brown in Week 2—a game in which the Crimson racked up 11 penalties—Harvard coached Tim Murphy said that “penalties in general is a concern, and it will be addressed.” “If you look at us traditionally, we’re team that doesn’t beat itself,” Murphy continued. But when the Crimson took on Lafayette this Saturday at Harvard Stadium, the Leopards owe some thanks to the way Harvard beat itself throughout the first half.

In a Big 5 Invitational that saw a lot of teams fluctuate on the leaderboard from Round 1 to Round 2, the Harvard men’s golf team’s consistency earned it an outright sixth-place (301-300-601) in the 17-team tournament—up from last year’s ninth-place finish. But even that isn’t enough for some on the team. “All in all, we were a a little disappointed with how we finished, especially in comparison to the other Ivy teams,” sophomore Mark Pollak said. “Losing to Yale two weeks in a row has been pretty upsetting.”

ITHACA, N.Y.—Last week, freshman running back Treavor Scales wasn’t in Bethlehem, Penn. for the Lehigh game because he had returned home to attend his grandmother’s funeral. “I was in fact very close to her,” Scales said. “She and I talked on a regular basis about once a week. She was just such a sweet woman. She wanted me to do the best in everything that I did—everybody in our family, myself and my little brother. She just really wanted us to do everything that we could to succeed in whatever we participated in.”
