M. Hoops opens league play with two wins

PROVIDENCE, R.I./NEW HAVEN, C.T. ? After scoring 18 points to lead the men's basketball team to an impressive 64-49 win at Brown on Friday night, junior guard Will Venable did not attempt a single field goal for the first 39 minutes and 57 seconds of Saturday's game.But with three seconds left, and the Tigers trailing Yale by one, Venable slipped underneath the basket, grabbed a tipped offensive rebound in tight traffic, and calmly laid the ball in.Thanks to Venable's offensive heroics and his suffocating defense, Princeton (9-6 Overall, 2-0 Ivy League) escaped New Haven with a sweep of its first ? and perhaps toughest ? league road weekend.The Tigers' performance against Brown (7-10, 3-1) was perhaps their best all-around showing of the season.

Life as editors — things we've learned along the way

We, the outgoing sports editors, began working at the 'Prince' in the winter of 2001. By the time we learned that writers don't get paid it was too late to back out, and we embarked, last year, on a long and winding road which, sadly, ends with this issue.Carrying on a tradition begun several years ago, we have decided to use this space to recount the most important things, big and small, that we have learned over the past four years. First thing's first: you can't please everyone.
