Football: New coach also classmate

Before this season started, the Tiger defensive line was anchored on the right side by senior Tom Methvin, a six-foot, three-inch, 275-pound defensive end who dominated the line of scrimmage.Now, after a series of injuries that ended his college career nine games short, you can find Methvin in the one place you were least likely to find him last season: on the sidelines.Out of necessity more than choice, Methvin has traded his pads for a clipboard and headset and, though his coaches and teammates needed little reminder, has further reinforced his reputation as a true team player.?Throughout my playing career at Princeton, I have had a series of mild concussions,? Methvin said.

New 'sports' alter meaning of 'athlete'

Apparently you too can now be a ?pro athlete.? No, I?m not talking about being an NBA player and landing $45 million contracts for happening to be seven feet tall (apologies to Adonal Foyle, I?m sure he?s a really nice guy). And I?m not talking about playing every Sunday for the Dallas Cowboys, since that would require most of us to be a few inches taller, 50-odd pounds of muscle heavier and a lot faster.

Men's Soccer: Killer instinct evident in shutout of Columbia

Click. That was the sound that the men?s soccer team made this weekend, as Princeton shut out Columbia, 2-0, to win its first Ivy League game of the season.After struggling to close out games earlier this year, the Tigers (4-8-1 overall, 1-1-1 Ivy League) were perfectly in sync on both the offensive and defensive ends against the Lions (3-8-1, 1-2-0). Unfortunately for Columbia and the rest of the Ancient Eight, Princeton is finding its A-game at the right time.?I think for a pretty long stretch, we had been playing pretty well ? keeping possession of the ball, getting good shots ? but we weren?t able to finish our opportunities,? head coach Jim Barlow ?91 said.

Football: Daunting task for secondary in key Ivy game

?Chicks dig touchdowns.? While head coach Roger Hughes? advice was directed to junior tailback Jordan Culbreath, it?s something all the Tigers (2-2 overall, 1-0 Ivy League) will need to take to heart when they take on Brown (2-2, 1-0) and its high-powered offense this Saturday in Princeton Stadium.Princeton is looking to bounce back from a tough 27-24 loss to Colgate a week ago.
