Ezra Stiles

The fall season has ended. The points have been tallied. Blood has been shed. Stiles concluded the fall with the destruction of a formidable TD squad. First, Tad Yanagi '00 scored an overtime goal to claim a 1-0 upset win for the men's soccer team. Men's football then punished the lions, avenging the loss of their emergency room-bound teammate and capping off a flawless season. In their final coed football game, IM secretaries Patrick Bumatay '00 and Santi Duewel '00 survived major head injuries en route to completing the sweep of TD's disillusioned Red Army. Not to be outdone by men's football, Captain Ken Lee '00 and the men's cross-country squad claimed a championship of their own.

In other sports, Stiles faltered near the end but still finished with impressive records. Table tennis ended a three-game losing streak with a tie, finishing at 7-3-1. Co-captains Marc Bush '01, Josh Kaplowitz '00, and Alli O'Neill '01 managed to have a successful season, despite the alienation of several players by multiple inappropriate e-mail conversations. Women's soccer finished at 5-5, and at least one of those wins was not by forfeit. Great job to all of you! Tennis went undefeated during the regular season, only to fall in a fluke loss to Morse in the semifinals. Captain Josh Frank '01 has already promised a championship next year.

But next year is too late. In the past, winter has brought some trouble to the mighty Moose. Last year, the Moose finished the fall in a pretty comfortable spot near the top. So comfortable, in fact, that the Moose then proceeded to lie down, curled up, and died. This year, I won't be satisfied until I can carry that Tyng Cup into the dining hall and eat my Pangeos out of it, and the scars of the past are forgotten— or at least faded so my mom doesn't freak out.
