It’s been a breeze for the men’s crew team this season — even with the extremely breezy weather over the weekend on the Housatonic River. The men’s lightweight crew team kept the Dodge Cup in its trophy case with a victory over Columbia and Penn. Saturday morning’s three-race sweep led to success in the afternoon, too: The Elis crossed the finish line first in four of five races against defending national champion Cornell in their second races of the day.

The Dodge Cup was established in 1955, not 30 years ago. Yale did not win it for the 28th consecutive year, it won it for the fifth straight year (Columbia won in 2003). Rutgers does not hold the Durand Cup; Dartmouth won it last year. And 'crew team' is an incorrect term; it is the crew or the rowing team, never the 'crew team.'

I believe the trophy is in Dartmouth's hands; Rutgers won in 2006, Dartmouth in 2007.

seriously, if you post that little nugget of wisdom about "crew team" being grammatically incorrect i'm going to throw up.
