PROVIDENCE, R.I. ? Both teams showcased in Saturday's football game were Brown, and not just because of the colors of their jerseys.Sure, Brown wore their home browns and Princeton's road whites were brown with mud before the end of the first quarter, but the comparison between the two teams did not end there.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. ? On the final, clock-killing drive of its 31-28 win over the Princeton football team (3-2 overall, 1-1 Ivy League) Saturday, Brown (4-1, 1-1) found its offensive philosophy in the surname of its star tailback, Nick Hartigan.The Bears let their school's all-time leading rusher run hard up the middle.
Midway through the third quarter of the sprint football team's game against Cornell on Friday night in Ithaca, N.Y., Princeton had already scored its first points of the season and seemed poised to claim its first lead.After scoring a touchdown on their first possession of the second half to cut the deficit to three points, the Tigers gained possession at the Cornell 14-yard line.But the Big Red defense stood tall and prevented Princeton from capitalizing on the excellent position, and senior kicker Neil Swami missed a field goal from the 16-yard line that would have tied the game.It would prove to be the Tigers' best ? and last ? opportunity of the night, as Cornell (2-3 overall, 1-1 College Sprint Football League) pulled away for a 31-13 victory.
For the men's soccer team, the distribution of playing time is less flexible than on other teams.

One of the most disconcerting experiences a person can have is watching the beginning of a television program without being able to tell if it is a repeat.And for the football team (3-1 overall, 1-0 Ivy League), which has opened the 2005 campaign the same way it did in 2004 ? winning against Lafayette, San Diego and Columbia before losing to Colgate ? there is no desire to suffer through a rebroadcast of last season's disappointing finish.But in preparing for tomorrow afternoon's visit to Brown (3-1, 0-1), the Tigers have to hope that, for just one more game, they can keep the parallelism alive.Princeton's 34-14 victory over the Bears on Oct.
