The Quakers hit Post with more than a few “Welcome to the League” tackles and touchdown runs en route to a 42-14 victory.

For anyone even vaguely familiar with the Collegiate Sprint Football League, it should come as no surprise that the road to the title will go through Navy. The Midshipmen have not lost a single game since the 2006 season and are poised to win their 35th CSFL title.

For men’s basketball coach Jerome Allen, running a team is not just about cultivating good basketball players on the court. It’s about building “better men and productive citizens.”

At tonight’s 18th annual Ms. and Mr. Penn Bodybuilding Contest, Penn athletes and some very well-built students will compete for the title of the school’s king and queen of brawn.

The cultural contrasts were distinct as PASA, the Caribbean-American Student Association, Mexico@Penn and the South Asia Society all competed on the pitch.

The PLAAY (Preventing Long-Term Anger and Aggression in Youth) program has helped students at a West Philadelphia discipline school and other community agencies throughout the city practice settling disputes nonviolently in the context of basketball games.

NCAA president Myles Brand, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January, passed away yesterday at the age of 67. The NCAA has not yet named his successor.

When it comes to the running back position, the Class of 2013 recruits are only an added bonus to an already talented Penn backfield.
