It's just another sign of the times. Given Penn's shrinking endowment and slacking admissions, athletic director Steve Bilsky has jumped on the mediocrity bandwagon by publicly outlining his vision for an NCAA program of "moderate achievement," and "a general decrease in expectations.


Glen Miller's dog, Snuggles, will transfer to another family, the canine's mother confirmed in a press release yesterday. "Snuggles needs to live in a house where she has confidence in the family's leaders," the bitch said.

Rollie Peterkin stepped onto the electronic scale, unsure of what he might see. The red digits on the scale's display proceeded to flash convulsively. In less than five seconds, the display read "Error." Here, in the Penn wrestling team's Pottruck Wrestling Complex next to the Palestra, Peterkin decided to try the other scale.

By VANILLA ICE Whigger Party Member iceicebaby@bigwhigs.org Penn's prospects for an Ivy title are as bleak as they've ever been. But its trophy shelf might just see some hardware come Grammy season. Forward and emcee Justin Reilly (aka Yung Reezy) drops his debut album, "(Thug) Life of Reilly," today, and critics are calling it "an unequivocal triumph in the realm of unathletic, injury-prone white rappers taller than 6-foot-7.

A month after Dan Leone was fired from his job with the Philadelphia Eagles due to a Facebook post that slammed the organization, Athletic Communications assistant Charles "Chas" Dorman has been fired for similar Facebook activity. The Eagles fired Leone because he lambasted them for letting safety Brian Dawkins leave the team for Denver.

After three long years, the Palestra finally has its 'stache back. Just not the man himself. Courting popular favor in anticipation of this month's "town hall" meeting on the state of men's basketball, Penn coach Glen Miller was recently spotted sporting the trademark mustache of predecessor Fran Dunphy, who guided the Quakers to 10 Ivy championships in his 17-year run with the program.

*M/W Lax | Girls rule, boys drool

By DAVID DeLUCA Ali Enthusiast hottie10@dailypennsylvanian.com Over the last few years, the Penn women's lacrosse team has steadily improved from being the joke of the Ivy League to its creme de la creme. From a 10-6 season in 2006, to a Final Four in 2007, to last year's loss in the national championship, and finally, to this year's 10-0 start, the Quakers have clearly become Penn's best team.


*Whoops! Lost another one

By TITS McGEE Lady Staff Writer tits@dailypennsylvanian.com Another sophomore hoopster has flown Glen Miller's coop. And this one's going to hurt even more than it did to watch Remy Cofield and Harrison Gaines hang up their sneaks. Tyler Bernardini, Penn's leading scorer the past season and the 2008 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, announced yesterday that he will be the latest member of the Class of 2011 to wave goodbye to Miller and company.




Creating a courtside community

Believe it or not, there's a basketball oasis in West Philadelphia, where Penn students and inner-city children come together each Friday to cap off the week. Enter at 58th and Walnut. Tread lightly down the creaky hallways lined with beat-up lockers, past the classrooms filled with wobbly desks and outdated books and swing open the double doors.


M. Lax | No. 2 Tigers a tall task for Quakers

Facing the second-best team in the nation tonight, Penn men's lacrosse has nothing to lose. No. 2 Princeton (8-1, 1-0 Ivy) will travel south on Interstate-95 today to face the Quakers (2-6, 1-3) in a 7 p.m. matchup under the lights at Franklin Field. Though both squads are coming off wins, the circumstances are far from similar.

As long as it faces a non-conference opponent, the Penn baseball team can hold its own. But so far this season, the Quakers (10-16, 0-8 Ivy) have been the pinatas of the Ivy League: Everyone gets a free hit. They've stumbled to a nasty nine-game losing streak since conference play began and are hoping to regain their confidence today against Lafayette (13-15) in Easton, Pa.


Doubles trouble for M. Tennis after losses

For the men's tennis team, this weekend brought little but disappointment.

he sunshine near the end of Penn's Friday victory was perfectly timed. Unfortunately for any believers in fate, the Quakers' win was just a result of good defense. The Red and Blue played their best lacrosse in the second half, downing Dartmouth, 9-6, for their first Ivy win of the season and their first win of any kind since Feb.


W. Lax | Spiro scorches Crimson

The individual matchup between Quakers junior Emma Spiro and Harvard sophomore Jess Halpern in Saturday's game exemplified the talent gap between the No. 3 Penn women's lacrosse team and the unranked Crimson. Coming into the contest, Halpern was Harvard's game-changer, with a team-leading 3.

In its second Ivy League weekend of the season against Brown and Yale, the Penn softball team came away with a pair of firsts - its first three-game win streak of the season and the first collegiate home run for freshman Jamie Boccanfuso. "It was really exciting," Boccanfuso said of her three-run drive to center field that gave the Quakers the lead in game one against Brown in Providence, R.

Lauren Sadaka's match against Yale's Vicky Brook came down to a few points and some debatable calls. However, it didn't end in Sadaka's favor. She lost on a grueling tiebreaker, 4-6, 7-5, 10-6 - her only loss of the weekend in either singles or doubles. "[Lauren's] one of the greatest competitors we've ever had at Penn, and she's the inspiration for everyone else on our team," interim coach Sara Schiffman said.
