Harvard U. at Yale U., Nov. 18 —
Harvard and Yale met first in 1875 and
Yale leads the series by 17 games As one

there’s not much in the way of pranks or
tomfoolery, but Yale Assistant Sports
Publicity Director Steve Conn remem
bers rumors of Harvard students steal
ing Yale's bulldog
The students allegedly covered the
John Harvard statue with ground meat
and snapped photos of the bulldog seem
ingly kissing the meat-covered feet of the
statue.

Pennsylvania State II. at U. of

They even sell Penn State alumni license
plates in Maryland, so the rivalry
between alumni heats up at the

school and college athletics will discuss
women’s sports issues.
“I’ve always believed it would take leg
islation’ to increase the importance ol
women’s collegiate sports, said L of
Washington junior Dawn Findlay.
Findlay is a member ol the women s
soccer club — for the past few years the
club has petitioned unsuccessfully to

WSU must provide equal opportunity
and support for women s sports and that
those calculations must include men s
football.

director of the Women's Sports
Foundation in New York, is optimistic
