PRINCETON, N.J. - The Tigers came into Friday's game ranked first in the Ivy League in rushing offense and last in passing offense. All that, and Princeton coach Roger Hughes was still surprised by how much the Quakers geared up to stop the run. But stop the run they did.

Dear Reader: It's time to come clean with you. The picture in the upper right corner of this column, supposedly representing my shining face to the world, is a scam. A photographer took the picture during the first week of the semester when I still had a full beard.

PRINCETON, N.J. - Who is Keiffer Garton? Even after Penn's loss to Brown last week, Bears coach Phil Estes referred to the sophomore signal caller simply as "No. 13" in the post-game press conference. But in his first career start at Princeton on Friday, No.

Last Tuesday, as I watched the voter turnout numbers come in and then observed the march on City Hall by Obama supporters, I couldn't have been more proud of Penn. It was deeply gratifying to see the entire community so engaged in the democratic process. And for the staff of The Daily Pennsylvanian, it was a memorable end to a long year of elections coverage.


Loss in finale caps W. Soccer's season slide

PRINCETON, N.J. - The women's soccer team had played a hard-fought 105 minutes against rival Princeton, but with just one kick and a touch of the head, Saturday's game - and the Quakers' 2008 season - ended abruptly. Off a corner kick in the second overtime, Princeton senior Taylor Numann headed in her second goal to negate Penn's comeback and give the Tigers a 2-1 victory at Roberts Stadium.



'Glass ceiling' breaks with Obama win

When Barack Obama was elected president last Tuesday, student volunteers across the country felt a sense of accomplishment in the victory. But for some black students, like College junior Lauren Wyatt, the victory meant "breaking the glass ceiling." Obama will make history on Jan.

M. Soccer | Knocked down but not out

PRINCETON, N.J. --- In a game that saw as many near-misses as breakaway opportunities, Penn men's soccer senior captain John Elicker was privy to the only well-directed strike. Too bad it struck him in the face. "I'm still feeling that right now," Elicker said.

Last week Penn students got out the vote to help decide the next president of the United States. This week they are again being asked to cast their ballots. But this time, it's to decide if Penn will display its Quaker pride on its underwear. Offering everything from hooded sweatshirts to underwear, Victoria's Secret's PINK line of loungewear recently teamed up with 31 schools to form the Pink Collegiate Collection.

For three days last week, the University played host to a symposium hoping to reshape the future of city construction. The conference, entitled "Re-Imagining Cities: Urban Design After the Age of Oil," was organized in the same vein as the historic "Conference on Urban Design Criticism" that took place 50 years ago.

Shaky economic times and a tumultuous housing market have not prevented new properties from springing up throughout University City in recent years. Since 2006, a number of mixed-use, luxury apartment complexes have come to call West Philadelphia home. With more construction on the way, it may seem like the area isn't feeling the pinch of the global financial crisis.

After squeaking out a five-set comeback win on the road against Harvard, Penn's volleyball team once again found itself trailing in the critical first-to-15 fifth set, 6-3, at Dartmouth, knowing that a loss would put it out of contention for the Ivy League title.

Al Bagnoli had, for two seasons, been at a loss for words. He had his well of go-to phrases that were used all too often: "snakebitten," "due for some luck" and "disappointed" - a thousand times, disappointed. Three consecutive overtime losses and what seemed like an endless series of unfortunate events made the Penn coach sound like Lemony Snicket during every press conference.
