As we all know, the presidential debates mark the tail end of the two-year-long campaign for president of the United States.  With the cicada-esque lifespan of the campaign coming to an end, television networks across the country reap record ratings by broadcasting these debates.  Some of you may still remember the debate from this past week, which drew 71 million viewers, and which represents the conclusion of the most-watched series of presidential debates in history.  But does “most-watched” mean “best?”  Based on the leading nature of that question, I think many of you would disagree.

Sprint Football vs. Franklin Pierce

For Penn sprint football, the hard part is over, but the job is far from done. And that job continues this Friday when the Quakers (4-0) face off against Chestnut Hill (2-2) at Franklin Field. Regardless of what happens Friday, it will be hard for Penn to top the drama the last time they played in Franklin Field.


Midfield play will be a point of emphasis for the Quakers in the upcoming match against Yale, as players such as junior midfielder Rachel Huang will be instrumental in generating attacks for the team.

Penn is locked in for its last crucial stretch of the season. Penn (9-4, 3-1 Ivy) is looking forward to the final week of Ivy League play, with upcoming matchups against Yale (5-8,1-3), Brown (6-6, 2-2), and Princeton (9-5, 4-0). Penn snapped its three game winning streak, with a tough double overtime loss to eighth nationally ranked Delaware 3-2 on Sunday.
