Zeroing in: Harvard football

Star Crimson tailback Chris Menick '00 threw a football for the first time since prep school on Sat., Oct. 24--and ended up completing a 41-yard pass in the end zone for a game-winning touchdown against Princeton. Harvard won 23-22, and, in front of a crowd of 25,388, handed the Tigers their first-ever loss in their new $48 million facility. Crimson coach Tim Murphy remarked, "Our most important number today was zero. We had zero turnovers and zero offensive penalties, and that's the only way we could have won this game."
