War II

By SAMANTHA ACRICHE Sun Staff Wr ter

Three years ago, John Marcham ’50 a late journalist, editor and publisher from Ithaca approached fellow journalist Brad Edmondson ’81 with an idea to create a book for the Cornell Class of 1950, celebrating its 65th reunion last June

The book, entitled Postwar Cornell, is the result of a collaboration between Marcham, co-editor Marion Steinmann and Edmondson, who is also the President of The Sun It tells the story of Cornell during the transformative period from 1944 to 1952, focusing on the impact of the G I Bill, the influx of female students and the major

“It was a very brief period when the veterans of World War II went to college, but it made permanent changes in these institutions.”

Ithaca Hosts First-Ever Wizarding Weekend

By TOM SCHREFFLER Sun Staff Wr ter

On Saturday, thousands flooded

t h e C o m m o n s a n d t h e s t re e t s o f downtown Ithaca, wearing robes, wizard hats and other mystical garb in celebration of Wizarding Weekend a family friendly, Harr y Potter-themed convention

Darlynne Overbaugh, the owner of Life’s So Sweet Chocolates, was the mastermind behind the event

“It started out ver y simple, and the community made it become viral,” Overbaugh said “ We had about a week to put it together ”

She said that the idea to transform the collection of box shops off of Gre e n St re e t i n d ow n t ow n It h a c a known as Press Bay Alley into Diagon Alley the shopping center of the Harr y Potter universe came about on a whim

“ The stor y goes that there was a young man who works for Boxy Bikes, he and his brother were riding in a car, and he said, wouldn’t it be cool if Press Bay Alley became Diagon Alley?” she said

“Much would change in student life at the University in the immediate postwar years, and the catalyst was in large part the G I invasion,” Prof Isaac Kramnick, government, wrote in the foreword “This would coincide with a profound transformation of the very soul of the place, as Presidents’ Day and Malott changed Cornell from a collegiate ‘halls of ivy’ training ground for educated gentlemen and ladies, schooled in ‘gracious living,’ to a world class ‘research university’ driven by Big Science ”

In the book, Edmondson illustrates this crucial point in Cornell’s history through 67 first-person recollections of Cornell alumni, letters, articles and diary entries

“The whole book is about this very unique cohort of men, mostly all men, who sort of just passed through college in just a few years from 1945 to 1952,” Edmondson said “College students suddenly got a lot older A lot of them had seen combat They mostly had had three to four years of experience before they enrolled in college so they were not typical freshmen It was a very brief period when the veterans of World War II went to college, but it made permanent changes in these institutions ”

The first edition of the book was published last June for the class’s reunion, just a few months after Marcham’s December 2014 death But afterward, Edmondson said he wanted more people to read the book and experience the fascinating stories within it

“Over the summer, ” Edmondson said, “I went back through the material and took out some stuff that wouldn’t be of interest to people who were not in the class of 1950 and added some stuff about broadening the focus for a more general audience and published a second edition which is this ”

The research process for the book took about a year and half Edmonson, with the guidance of his two editors, said he found individuals and numerous leads that would create a captivating and enriching story of the history during this time period

“I interviewed about 67 people and I was asking them about things that had happened 65 or 70 years ago, so dates, names, the who, what, where, when was pretty fuzzy in these inter views,” Edmondson said “I got these interviews that were emotionally great material but not really nailed down in terms of accuracy ”

Edmondson said he realized just how “ compelling” the voices of these individuals were and decided at that point to let the words speak for themselves However, he had to find primary sources in order to validate these stories

“Cornell Archives in Kroch Library’s Rare Books and Manuscripts Collection is a playpen

Upon hearing this idea, Overbaugh said she decided she could help organize the event She posted the first message to Facebook about Wizarding Weekend on Oct 20, and it immediately garnered likes and recognition from the community

“ When you ’ re putting together an event of this size, there are a lot of logistics,” she said

“ T h e It h a c a c o m m u n i t y r a l l i e d behind the event the Downtown Ithaca Alliance, the City of Ithaca, the property owners ”

After about a week of local fer vor, the stor y was picked up by national news outlets, and the Facebook event had about 8,000 positive RSVPs

The event featured a dozen different Harr y Potter-inspired activities,

Vickie Browse, a Volunteer Owl who was giving directions, said one of the motivations for creating the event was to give kids the chance to “play Quidditch on their electric bikes ” However, she said, the event soon became a promotional opportunity for businesses in Press Bay Alley

There was, in fact, a Quidditch pitch set up in a parking lot, where

The institute is also led by associate directors Prof Mardelle McCuskey Shepley, design and environmental analysis, and Prof Brooke Hollis MBA ’78, policy analysis and management, associate director of the Sloan Program in Health Administration

In the release, Shepley emphasized the institute’s “ transdisciplinary” approach, saying it offers a unique perspective from which to view the intersections of the disciplines

“Our approach is more than interdisciplinary,” Shepley said “It’s transdisciplinary, in the sense that it’s generating a whole new field, rather than having different disciplines work in parallel We’re excited to be a part of this adven-

Silver has steadfastly professed his innocence since his arrest in Januar y, insisting federal prosecutors misinterpreted the law, turning innocent actions such as pursuing private employment into crimes

“At bottom, what the government objects to in this case is not actual federal crimes but rather l o n g s t a n d i n g f e a t u re s o f Ne w York state government that the U S attorney finds distasteful,” Silver’s lawyers wrote in court papers

At a news conference after Silver's arrest, Bharara said “it

Then the next day, in a speech before a law school audience that was laced with humor, Bharara derided the state ’ s reputation for

president and the governor, the so-called “three men in a room ” Several months later, Bharara charged Dean Skelos, New York’s then-Senate leader, with extortion and soliciting bribes, claiming that the state ' s most powerful Republican official used his position to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for his son, who was also charged Skelos, 67, has said he and his son will be found innocent They go to trial this month as well

As a part of its plan to support educational programs, the institute plans to develop “across-college dual degree program options,” along with “concentrations, minors and other programs ” related to the multidisciplinary field

Today’s inauguration celebration will “include panels on integrating hospitality principles with health care operations, and enhancing health and wellness facility design,” according to the University There will then be a ribboncutting ceremony at the institute’s suite in Martha Van Rensselaer Hall

On Vandalism

THIS WEEKEND, THE WORD “DIVEST” was spraypainted on the statue of Cornell’s first president and co-founder, Andrew Dickson White Although police are investigating the defacement of the Arts Quad statue, no information is known as to who committed the offense or at what time the vandalism took place between Friday and Saturday Nonetheless, the act serves as a blow to the fossil fuel divestment movement and potentially damages future opportunities for dialogue between students, trustees and administrators

Although the divestiture movement has been a longstanding point of controversy and conversation on the Cornell campus, it has returned to the spotlight over the last few weeks Students confronted members of the Board of Trustees about divesting during a forum on Oct 21, and Prof David Shalloway, molecular biology and physics, represented the five shared governance groups that voted in favor of divestment The progress made by the group of Cornellians in bringing the issue of divestiture to decision-makers on campus has been significant since the movement began in spring 2013 when the Student Assembly demanded divestment from the fossil fuels industry

Still, we are disappointed in the individual or group of individuals who undermined the movement ’ s advances and meaningful discussions with administrators and trustees Though we understand the historical context behind this action where activists have scrawled messages on the statues of the University’s founders to grab the attention of the campus community we also believe that doing so is ineffective and may serve to hinder future communication or progress between these groups Publically vandalizing a campus monument fails to encourage any dialogue about how to address issues facing our campus

Scientists — The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

There is such thing as ugly science You know, the kind that leads to media sensationalizing, fear-mongering by the ignorant and the miseducation of the masses (look up the “scientific” root of the anti-vaccine movement for one infamous example) I’m already sick of talking about ugly science, which doesn’t deser ve more than a few sentences condemning the stuff to hell for its negative effect on the STEM community

Bad scientists, on the other hand, do exist They may not be bad people, but money, political corruption or the pressure to publish often leads them to bad decisions They often produce illadvised conclusions that, technically, could be drawn For evidence, look no further than the legions of diligent pro-fracking scientists lurking on corporate payrolls More often than you’d think, anti-science escapes peer-review unscathed and becomes published Once that happens, there’s no stopping companies, government leaders and other non-STEM folk from using the research to peddle a particular narrative Yet it’s not even the ugly or bad scientists that worry me the most

I’m most concerned about the good scientists, for whom I have a tremendous amount of love and respect These passionate souls fling wit and innovation back and forth in lab meetings, engaging in the most heated of debates on the merits of one technique or theory

over another Even when I graduate and abandon biology for a career in the humanities, I intend to remain immersed in biology’s captivating community But as much as the work of good scientists astounds geeks like myself, they’re also the ones who frustrate me the most To a lot of people, the fruits of a good scientists’ labor look like they were plucked from a magic field, one which only a select few can successfully enter Thus, not many can appreciate the raw brilliance and compelling language of primary literature or so society would have you believe

of research Fast forward to this past summer, where I discovered firsthand what true autonomy and rigor felt like while doing research once again Needless to say, I realize and admit now that I’m a terrible, terrible scientist I lack the meticulousness required or, dare I say, the work ethic I’m at peace with that Apparently, it was my presentation of the information

When people contribute their energy, hearts and quite fra dollars, society can discove and create wonders.

that won me the award

hope to slough off the debilitating untrustworthiness that some have unceremoniously draped over them

My first true exposure to the secrets of science was a research internship during the summer after junior year of high school

There are two ways I could describe this project: I can say that I studied the kind of wasps that inspired the horrifying chestbursters from Alien, which have babies that eat you from the inside out Or, I can say that I studied the reproductive and physiological impacts of parasitism via parasitoid wasps on pea aphids that harbor a facultative symbiont, mediated by a bacteriophage See the difference? If not, allow me to clarify I won first place for my presentation, and so I fancied myself a scientist and dove into the world

I’m not the one you should trust with navigating a research site, but I know that I can navigate communities adeptly I have no shortage of confidence in my ability to tell a gripping story, describing events and details so that they become vivid and accessible I write on end about love of all people, but I know when to inject emotions like anger and sadness into my words so that they might be heard by those who refuse to listen

And so the same must be done for science We, those lovers of inquiry, need storytellers to distill the aforementioned fruits of primary literature into a meaningful and appealing beverage Otherwise, STEM folk can never

’84

Iwake up and before I even get out of bed, there is a degrading voice in my head calling me names How discouraging is that? I have no explanation for why this is happening so early in the morning In most cases, it bodes ill for my writing I can ’ t count on anything positive happening once such negativity

h a s b e e n i n t r o d u c e d t o m y t h o u g h t process I don’t know what brings it on, and I don’t really know how to make it go away Maybe exposing it publicly, by writing about it will have some constr uctive effect

The origin of this unsettling phenomenon remains a myster y There are medications to treat it, of which I am currently taking three, but why it pops up when it does defies explanation The patterns change and shift The r ules are not consistent A period of time that seems safest one month may, by the next, be fraught with uncer tainty, even danger Medical authorities take this degrading voice seriously, as do I

The consensus seems to be that you can ’ t just ignore it that some form of response is warranted When I told my psychotherapist that I had been standing b y t h e s w i m m i n g p o o l a t t h e l o c a l YMHA, while a voice was telling me to submerge myself and drown, he did not take it lightly

Still, there are clearly ways of dealing with my mental illness Take this morning for example I wake up thinking the d a r k n e s s h a s c l e a r l y t a k e n t h e u p p e r hand, and here I am twenty minutes later,

Scientists have a knack for thinking critically about the work of their peers and pointing out areas for improvement In the world of good science, this skill proves invaluable Yet academics also have a tendency to apply this same line of thinking to their interactions with those outside that world For this reason, the general public continues to perceive academics as pretentious, cold and esoteric This exclusivity presents the most salient danger of all: the danger of believing that not doing science and understanding science are mutually exclusive, or that one who does not engage in scientific research cannot understand that research

Consider the renowned astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson and famed science communicator Bill Nye ’77 Neither of them are biologists Neither of them have conducted research in evolution Yet they have both publicly defended the overwhelming evidence supporting evolution because they have the capacity to read, interpret and articulate the findings of others No one challenges their credibility or questions their resolve

The Flip Side of the Coin

gainfully employed, feeling quite clear and collected All I did, really, was carr y on I made my breakfast, and sat down to write Go figure

I’ve come up with a million different theories about that angr y voice None of them are really any good The reality is

hypothesis to both of the men charged with treating me for an extended period of time They both immediately responded that the trade-off was strongly in my favor Even taking into account my stay at the Westchester Psychiatric Hospital, to say nothing of the police escor t that got

I wake up and before I even get out of bed, there is a degrading voice in my head calling me names ... I can’t count on anything positive happening once such a negativity has been introduced to my thought process I don’t know what brings it on, and I don’t really know how to make it go away.

that it is, in some way, an outgrowth of the spirituality I have so sought after by working The Twelve Steps That lifesaving program that has helped so many alcoholics and addicts was never intended for me, yet has helped me enormously My chemical imbalances were all generated internally I have been able, however, with the assistance of a capable doctor, to a d a p t t h e Twe l ve St e p p h i l o s o p h y t o relieve the symptoms of severe obsessive c o m p u l s i v e d i s o r d e r I d o n ’ t l i k e t o acknowledge that this wonder ful way of life has had a significant down side, but it seems to be tr ue Without the Steps, no psychotic episode Without the episode, no ugly degrading voices

when it comes to the importance of spreading awareness Imagine the world we’d live in if the only people allowed to explain the perils of anti-vacciners’ beliefs were people with doctorates in immunology or disease

At the core of everything that occurs in this world, science prevails Regardless of whether or not we have the explanation already, we as a species have the latent potential When people contribute their energy, hearts and quite frankly dollars, society can discover and create wonders We can also use this latent potential to avoid the destruction and disaster that results from a reckless abuse of our intellectual capital But none of this is possible without people to communicate No change takes place without a middle woman or man to serve as the bridge And a bridge is only as good as its connection to both sides of a stream

Granted, times will always arise when science communicators cannot fully grasp the work of a researcher from simply looking over a paper During these times, it is the responsibility of those who seek understanding to reach out to the scientists, humble themselves and learn all of the details I wonder though: If and when they do so, how will the scientists respond?

me there, to say nothing of the tr uck load

o f a n t i - p s y c h o t i c m e d i c a t i o n s I h a v e taken since, and the fear ful apparitions and voices, I have come out ahead They both agree

T h e t r e a t m e n t I ’ v e u n d e r g o n e h a s

b e e n s u c c e s s f u l , o n e m i g h t c o n t e n d , because it has conferred upon me a capacity to move spontaneously through my day I can now manage the minor decisions that would once have stymied me completely like the decision of which brand of granola to buy in the supermarket, or whether to buy two or three bottles of blueberr y jam It is not an overstatement to say that these kinds of choices once turned the grocer y store into a house of horrors Now I just kind of Zen

past them, kind of on autopilot I sit in the driver’s seat and the plane makes it to its destination without a mishap But there is ever so much more There are feelings of joy and contentment There is a growing resolve that whatever I have lived through has been well wor th the effor t, as it has empowered me to be of assistance to others There are those special times when I can get on my knees, ask my Higher Power for assistance and know that it has been granted There is ever y morning when I awaken and ask to know my Higher Power’s will for me for that day And, I suppose, right up there at the top of the list, there is this strange ability I seem to have acquired of stringing coherent words and sentences together on a computer screen

So when the trained medical personal contend that in the grand equation, the enormous blessings that have been conferred upon me far outweigh the psychotic symptoms, I simply have to agree with them The psychotic stuff can be controlled with medication, and who knows, maybe over time I will find a way to dispense with it entirely In the meantime, I am a writer which is no small thing And if my writing can help alleviate the stigma normally associated with open discussion of mental illness that is no small thing either

Squad Struggles to Cash In on Opportunities

were moving the ball down the field Our defense was doing really well It came down to we just weren ’ t finishing plays We were doing really well till we get it to the red zone then we kind of stalled We’d make a mistake, we’d get a penalty that kind of set us back So we got to make sure that we continue to have these great drives but also make sure we finish the drives with touchdowns ”

The offense had a tough break when sophomore quarterback Jake Jatis’ pass bounced off the hands of wide receiver Chris Lenz and Princeton came away with it later in the first quarter The Tigers marched down the field following the take-away and got on the board first with a 8-yard touchdown pass from Princeton quar terback Chad Kanoff

Cornell failed to capitalize in Princeton territor y again in the second quarter, turning the ball over on downs after the offense couldn’t convert a fourth-and-6 at the Tigers’ 24-yard line Princeton got the ball back and, thanks to two long plays, quickly and efficiently worked its way down the field Lovett ran in for a touchdown, putting the Tigers up by 14

“He really made some plays,” Archer said about Lovett “He’s a great athlete He was playing quarterback and receiver for them and lining up all over of the place Obviously he made some plays for them and we had

trouble defending him ”

After forcing another three-and-out, the Red had good field position after another weak punt from Princeton Cornell worked its way down the field and then Somborn threaded the needle and connected with Ben Rogers from 26 yards out to get Cornell on the board

Princeton quickly responded with a field goal to give the Tigers a 10-point lead going into the half Princeton then used some strong runs to start the second half with a score, but Cornell responded with a touchdown of its own Hagy started the d

through the line of scrimmage and shaking off a Princeton defender before being

Somborn found Rogers twice on the drive before Hagy dove into the end zone

team is going out and producing and making plays Cornell again showed some life down 20 points, when Rogers returned a kickoff all the way to Princeton’s 30yard line Hagy broke through five tackles giving the Red a first-and-goal After a penalty, Lenz dove to catch Somborn’s pass in the end zone, bringing the score to 3421

But Princeton immediately responded on the kickoff when Tigers’ Dre Nelson returned the ball 103 yards for the score, giving Princeton a 40-21 l e a d ,

Yet, as has been the theme all year, Cornell couldn’t continue the momentum Princeton’s offense exploited poor tackling by Cornell The Tigers ended with 261 rushing yards, most of the yards coming after contact The Tigers added one more touchdown and field goal in the third quarter

“Missed tackles plagued us, ” Archer said “ Those things are going to get you beat, missed assignments are going to get you beat So it’s all falls to me I’m the head football coach, and I have to make sure that this

With three games left in the season, including one against No 21 Dartmouth, Cornell is still in search of its first win this season “ We’re looking to build a program at Cornell, which we ’ ve never really had,” Archer said “ These are the hard few years, the growing years That being said, we have to do a better job I have to do a better job, our coaches have to do a better job, the players have to do a better job We’re all in this thing together, and so we need to analyze what each of us can do and make sure we come out and do it to the best of our ability ”

Late Fuller TD Catch Leads Irish Over Owls

[The Haka] has been a good source of entertainment and sportsmanship in the international arena.

Temple history was on the verge of turning into the Owls’ greatest victory DeShone Kizer refused to let Temple make history at Notre Dame’s expense

Kizer hit Will Fuller with a 17yard touchdown pass with 2:09 left in the game, KeiVarae Russell picked off a pass to end the last threat and No 9 Notre Dame escaped with a 24-20 victory over No 2 1 Te m p l e o n Sa t u rd a y night

It was the third time this season Kizer has led Notre Dame (71) from behind in the fourth quarter, first against Virginia in

his memorable debut and then against Southern California

“It all comes with experience When you go out there and you do it once or twice, that’s how it’s going to end up being,” said Kizer, the redshirt freshman who took over for the injured Malik Zaire at Virginia “We know how t o g o a b o u t a f o u r t h - q u a r t e r comeback now ”

The Owls (7-1) took a 20-17 lead with 4:45 left on a 36-yard field goal by Austin Jones But Kizer came right back with a long scoring drive, capped by the TD to his star receiver who hails from Philadelphia to make it 24-20

“They were crowding me and DeShone just threw a per fect ball,” said Fuller, who went to Roman Catholic High School

Then the Notre Dame defense stepped up Temple’s P J Walker went deep down the right side, but Russell cut underneath the throw and made a diving pick

Not until the very last play, when Kizer dropped the ball, picked it up and then threw it away to kill the clock, did the Irish get to celebrate Kizer finished with 299 yards passing and a 79-yard touchdown run

“He got the game ball,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said

The Fighting Irish had chances to distance themselves from the Owls, but four red-zone trips produced only 10 points in the first three quarters against a defense that ranked eighth in the country

“I knew that those were probably going to put us in a position where it would be a dog fight in the second half,” Kelly said

The Owls entered the fourth q u a r t e r d ow n s e ve n A l l t h e y could have wanted After a targeting penalty in the end zone by Notre Dame’s Elijah Shumate gave Temple a new set of downs, the Owls got it down to the 1 on fourth down Coach Matt Rhule decided to go for it and Jahad Thomas made a crisp cut to turn the corner and tie the game at 17 with 10:51 left

Cross Country Takes the Bronx

By BRITTANY BIGGS Sun Staff Writer

As the final stretch of the season rolls on, both the Red men ’ s and women ’ s cross country teams looked to cap off a season of highlights at the Ivy League Heptathlon in Bronx, New York The teams competed against the other seven Ivy League schools; the men ’ s team was able to notch a fourth place finish while the women ’ s team fought for a sixth place spot in a very tight field

On the women ’ s side, junior Taylor Spillane was able to continue her strong season by securing a 10th place finish for the Red, coming in at a time of 21:33 4 Senior Caroline Keller was the next Cornelian to cross the line, finishing in eleventh place, and was followed by freshman Eve Glassgreen, who was able to achieve a 24th place finish to round out the top three finishers for the team Losing to the UPenn in a tiebreaker and missing fourth place by five points, there are bittersweet feelings about the meet

women ’ s coach Artie Smith “Our team fought very hard and really did great in the second half of the race Despite not getting the starting position that we wanted, they really dug deep in the second part of the race We still haven’t put together a complete race in terms of getting the starting position we want but our toughness and fortitude in the second of the race continues to be a great strength ”

In the men ’ s fourth place finish, senior Ben Rainero was able to continue his dominate season, coming in a solid fourth place He was followed by classmate Brian Eimstad, who finished in eighth and sophomore Dominic DeLuca’s 11th place to round out the team

“We learned good lessons from this race that will help us in two weeks.”

“I feel that we didn't achieve the result that we wanted exactly, but that the way we competed was an achievement in itself,” Glassgreen said “Everyone rallied in the second half of the race to move the team up from where we were in the first half I believe that this competitive spirit and toughness will carry through for us at the next meet, regionals, and that we need to combine it with some new strategy and tweak a few details to race our best We learned good lessons from this race which will help us in two weeks ”

But regardless of the teams placing, there is much to be said about effort the team put into the meet and all season long

“I was very happy with the competitive effort,” said

Similarly to the women ’ s meet, the men ’ s team was on the losing end of a tiebreak with Yale, which pushed the team back to fourth place instead of third “We ran pretty well, but didn't quite get the job done,” said men ’ s coach Zebulon Lang “Our guys got after it and we were in the thick of the team race throughout, but we came up short I’d rather have a team that goes for it and comes up short than a team that doesn't put it out there, so I'm proud of my guys for doing that, but I do feel that we still have at least one better race in us this season ”

Regardless of this week’s shortcomings, both squads believe they are prepared for the NCAA Northeast Regional this week, where they will fight for a spot in the NCAA championships

“We’ve been training to be at our best in November all year, and everything I see tells me that our best races are still in front of us, ” Lang said “We’re excited to see what we can do and to continue to get better ”

Men Shut Out Niagara to Complete Sweep

If you line up the first line of the Cornell men ’ s hockey team against Niagara in order of height, they would look like t h e s i g n a l b a r s o n yo

and negatives out to the ice, but in the Red’s 4-0 win over Niagara at Lynah Rink, the group ’ s chemistry and complementary skill set shined through Vanderlaan netted the first goal of his collegiate career in the first period off a rebound of an Angello swing towards the net Kubiak later redirected a Vanderlaan laser towards the net

Now the extent of my exposure to the rugby is personally only viewing one game, and watching Ross get completely beat up trying to play it on Friends What I do know is that it’s like football except you throw backwards (because that makes sense), and the guys are super buff and don’t wear any pads when they play (which makes football players look weak) There are also these fun lift things they do where they basically build pyramids so a guy can get high enough to catch the ball It’s big in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and is catching on in America at the collegiate level but is far from becoming a national league sport And then there is the Haka There is a chance you have seen the YouTube video of rugby players performing an intimidating chanting/stomping sort of routine in front of their opponents before the start of the game Solely players

Freshman Mitch Vanderlaan stands first, listed at 5-foot-7, 178 pounds, but brings a skillset that highlights the advantages of being a smaller guy out on the ice, namely quickness and agility Junior Jeff Kubiak brings the experience in the group, finding himself in the right place to light the lamp as he did for the Red twice on tip-in goals on Saturday And then there’s 6-foot-7, Pittsburgh Penguins draft pick Anthony Angello who looks like he’s hacking away at the puck like a lumberjack in front of the net Vanderlaan, Kubiak and Angello bring their own positives

The cherry on top for the group came when Kubiak redirected a shot from freshman defenseman Alec McCrea for his second goal of the night

He

someone to step in and replace the production of a now departed 2014-15 senior class So far, the freshmen, highlighted by Angello, who notched the first three points of his collegiate career over the weekend, and Vanderlaan have led the way

Tigers Extend Cornell’s Losing Streak

There’s something about this Cornell football team that whenever the Red does something well, the team follows it up with a mistake Against Princeton today, that was abundantly clear If Cornell were to put together a strong offensive possession, the team would slow to a halt deep in Princeton’s territory, and come away scoreless If the defense were to make two strong pass break-ups, the Red would miss tackles and allow a long run for a first down

T h e Re d ( 0 - 7 , 0 - 4 Iv y ) l e a ve s Princeton (5-2, 2-2) still without a win The Tigers never trailed and won 47-21 Princeton put up 452 yards of offense led by do-it-all quarterback John Lovett, who finished with 92 rushing yards, two touchdowns and countless broken tackles

“It kind of mimicked our season where you’d see a ton of incredibly good things and then some really bad things,” said head coach David Archer ’05 “The first part of the game we couldn’t finish, we weren ’ t able to come away with points from our field goal unit and we weren ’ t able to come away with points from our offense It’s like a microcosm of the season ” Senior r unning back Luke Hagy returned to the Red after sustaining a c o n c

Sacred Heart, and the offensive captain made an impact, rushing for 128 yards, accumulating 41 receiving yards and scoring a touchdown

“It was awesome to be back,” Hagy said, “It was hard to be on the sidelines, watching everybody work so hard when I’m not being able to do anything ”

from New Zealand perform it, and it’s called the Haka The New Zealand team All Blacks is famous for performing before each game It’s composed of stomping, a “Come at me ” sort of stance, bugged out eyes (they actually have a word for that, Pukana), chanting and sticking out their tongues, the intention of all this being to intimidate their opponents And it works They look super intense, scary and badass Not that I’m a rugby player, but it would definitely work as an intimidation tactic on me

The All Blacks are believed to have been performing the particular Haka that they are famous for, called the “Ka Mate,” since 1906 It originated as a traditional war dance of the

l Princeton territory On the Red’s first three possessions, Cornell made it within the Tigers’ 25-yard line Yet the team couldn’t come up with any points, missing two field goals and failing to convert a fourth down

“I thought we came out and the offense was on a roll,” Hagy said “We

Junior quarterback Robert Somborn finished with 279 yards and two touchdowns, and Cornell as a whole compiled 444 yards of offense But it wasn ’ t enough to hang with Princeton Cornell’s defense came out strong in the first half, forcing three straight three-and-outs to begin the game The offense was similarly clicking, that is u n t i l C o r n e l l m a d e i t d e e p u

native Maori people in New Zealand, which is why only native teams perform it Most opposing teams stand in silence when the Haka is being performed, though there have been some incidences of certain players purposefully ignoring the performance English fans drown it out by singing “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” (that’s a song choice ripe for analysis later) Over the years it has become quite the a crowd pleaser, some tournaments have actually come under fire for disallowing the performance of it Incidentally, the team just won the 2015 Rugby World Cup this Saturday in a final match against Australia, so maybe there is something to a little pre-game intimidation

Getting pumped up before a match isn’t a new thing; Baseball players have their walkout songs, football players run underneath an arch flanked by jets of steam, and running and high-fiving is a big one just generally
