Track team waits for spring reign
JULIA FEBIGER, STAFF WRITER
So far women's spring track still feels like winter. Two
weeks ago, the first years on the team found themselves shoveling off
the outdoor track. This past weekend, the scheduled Saturday home meet
was first postponed until Sunday and then eventually cancelled due to
the snowfall. [read the article]

Skippers navigate turbulent waters
MELANIE KEENE, STAFF WRITER
Due
to stormy conditions in New England last Saturday, the Bowdoin Sailing
Team did not race in every regatta on its schedule. Because the boats
were iced over at M.I.T., the women's regatta was canceled. The sailors
at the Metro Series toughed it out but only sailed four races before the
event was called. The sole complete regatta took place in Boston on the
Charles River. [read the article]
Tennis
backhands hapless Bantams
MIKE BALULESCU, STAFF WRITER
Although last weekend's Maine weather did not provide any
semblance of spring for Bowdoin's tennis elite, Farley Field House served
as an acceptable venue as the Polar Bears swept past NESCAC rival Trinity
College 7-0. Captain Colin Joyner '03 and Hawaiian Bucky Jencks '05 both
turned in outstanding performances, as the men's tennis team advanced
to 5-3 on the season. [read the article]
Wade and Carmelo prove their worth
J.P. BOX, COLUMNIST
I had no idea that March would be such an enlightening
and instructive month. For example, I learned that if you pay five dollars
to enter your friend's March Madness pool, you might not receive a single
dime in return-even if you win. [read

Bandwagon fans need to go
ERIK SPRAGUE, COLUMNIST
Currently there are much more important matters to get
all riled up over, but one sports issue that has gotten increasingly annoying
over the past several years is that of bandwagon fans. For those who are
not exactly sure what a bandwagon fan is and/or if they would qualify
as one, a band wagon fan is a fan-or at least a self-proclaimed fan-whose
decision to watch and support a particular sports team is based primarily
on the given team's success. [read
