Against Brown on a Friday night in Cambridge, Mass., the Crimson played in front of 17,263 and improved to 3-0 in night games at . Brown jumped ahead on a two-yard scoring run from all- around athlete Bobby Sewall to cap a seven-play, 60-yard drive in the second quarter. Harvard showed that it has quick-strike ability as Winters needed just two passes to tie the game. Winters threw two seam passes for 30 yards each – the last one to tight end Nicolai Schwarzkopf ’11 to cap a 33-second drive and get the home crowd into it. Sewall struck again towards the end of the half with another short touchdown run on a designed direct-snap from the one yard line to give the visitors a 14-7 lead.

Serving our Undergrads: New Membership Perks Career Open Houses

As part of our enhanced interest in undergraduate activities this year, the Varsity Club has set up a series of Open Houses this fall to help connect undergraduates with former Harvard athletes in different fields. In September, the VClub welcomed by Richard Ginsburg, Ph.D. Brian Rapp ’08 (Volleyball)/Nicholas Downing ’07 (Crew) from McKinsey and William Lee ’02 (Tennis)/Michael Shore ’09 (Golf) from Morgan Stanley to the undergraduate lounge in Dillon Field House where they answered students’ questions about the worlds of consulting and finance. McKinsey’s Brian Rapp had nothing but positive feedback in a follow up email: “We had 37 students show up - 21 seniors and 16 juniors; from the pool of seniors we are interviewing FREE for HVC Members around 25% of them which is a pretty robust number. From the pool of juniors we found several that we are going to keep a closer eye on through the summer internship process (late Feb- ruary and after). Basic feedback was that everyone was extreme- ly happy that we did this both from the scores of students who attended and from the McKinsey side because of it was a low/no cost event for a tremendously high return.”

In an effort to meet its reduced budget target this year, the Athletic Department gave coaches the option of including the DHAs as part of their sport’s equipment fund. Faced with chal- lenging budget cuts, the majority of coaches chose to forego the DHAs in exchange for purchasing more sport-specific training gear. As is evident in The Crimson’s article, the change in policy has created some angst amongst student-athletes whose coaches have opted out of the DHA sweatsuit program and who have no other avenue of obtaining the ubiquitous athletic gear. In response to this demand, the Athletic Department and Harvard Varsity Club have partnered to produce and sell the traditional DHA sweatsuits to students and alumni. 4 Crimson Photo Gallery
