Fight breaks out after The Game
A late-night altercation at the corner of York and Elm streets between Yale students and non-University affiliates following the Harvard-Yale game two weeks ago resulted in the handcuffing of at least one non-University affiliate at the scene. Between 2:00 and 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 18, a fight broke out between three Yale upperclassmen and roughly 10 unidentified...

Sports are worth the roller-coaster ups and downs
From where we were in the stands, it was unclear what had happened. But the scoreboard made it clear. One drive in, the Bulldogs were already down. Fifty-nine minutes remained, but the tide never turned. I don’t need to remind Yalies of The Game — a game we’d all like to forget. But as our most important sporting event of the year, it would be inappropriate to...

Huge Game crowds led to familiar transit woes
This year’s Harvard-Yale experience was full of hopeful waiting — fans waiting for a touchdown, alumni waiting to enter the parking lot and students waiting for buses to get to and from The Game. While most students interviewed thought the busing system was adequate, many also said they were at least a little frustrated with slow-moving lines and inefficiently...

All told, Siedlecki has been solid
I’m going to be honest with you: When I first started writing this story, it wasn’t going to be pretty. The gist of it was going to be a full criticism of Yale football coach Jack Siedlecki’s failure during the 124th edition of The Game, much like Tuesday’s News’ View (“The Game leaves Elis embarrassed”). Yet as I was writing, listing the games in which...

Harvard-Yale tailgate free of alcohol citations
Although Yalies encountered problems on the football field at this year’s Harvard-Yale game, they managed to steer clear of trouble at the tailgate. Police officers issued only six infractions — none of which were alcohol-related or issued to Yale affiliates — at this year’s game, Yale Police Department spokesman Sgt. Steven Woznyk said. He said this number was...

Blue Crushed
The Game? More like The Embarrassment. In the most hyped edition of The Game since 1968, Harvard defeated Yale 37-6 the Saturday before Thanksgiving, putting an end to the Elis’ quest for their first perfect season in half a century. Yale came into the game as the heavy favorite, looking to go undefeated for the first time since 1960. But instead, it was Harvard that...

Online ExclusiveWhy Yale Football Matters
1. You get to cheer for Yale. At least one day a year—more often if you know how nice it is to enjoy a beautiful fall day at the Bowl—you can be utterly partisan. You have a team (a really good team) to support, songs to sing, colors to dress in, a real live lovable bulldog, and friends to share the experience. Tangibles and intangibles, objects of your affection and...

Updated Sunday. At least the Bulldogs don’t have school on Monday. In the most hyped edition of The Game since 1968, Harvard defeated Yale 37-6 on Saturday, putting an end to the Elis’ quest for their first perfect season in half a century. Yale came in as the heavy favorite, looking to go undefeated for the first time since 1960. But Harvard left with an Ivy...

Game reminiscent of 1968 matchup
Two teams undefeated in the Ivy League meet. The Elis are heavily favored. The running back is praised as the best in Yale football history. After 60 minutes of play, Harvard beats Yale 29-29. So went The Game of 1968, widely regarded as the most dramatic Harvard-Yale football match the 124-year-old rivalry has ever seen. But this year’s Game, which will take place...

Handsome Dan term no longer lasts a lifetime
Many Yalies may not notice the difference, but a new, smaller Handsome Dan will be growling at the Cantabs at The Game this year. A new bulldog named Sherman quietly assumed the mascot position in late winter 2006, two football seasons after his predecessor, Mugsy, was named Handsome Dan XVI at the Spring Fling festivities in April 2005. Handsome Dans traditionally reign...

The first matchup of undefeated Ivy League football teams since 1968 will take place in New Haven this Saturday. But ESPN College Gameday will be broadcasting from Ann Arbor, Mich. instead. ESPN announced Monday afternoon that its weekly program College Gameday will be on location covering the competition between No. 7 Ohio State and No. 23 University of Michigan. The...

Forget the stats, look at win column
According to Princeton head coach Roger Hughes, all the numbers go out the window in a rivalry game. In the 130th edition of college football’s second-oldest rivalry, that was exactly what happened. Although the Tigers dominated the Elis statistically last Saturday, Yale still managed to escape Princeton Stadium with a 27-6 win, marking the largest margin of victory...
