CalTech ends 11-year losing streak

Gotta hand it to the sharpshooters at CalTech...after an 11-year losing streak against powerhouses like Milwaukee School of Engineering and Harvey Mudd, the Division III Beavers finally won one (and we've got the scoreboard, above, to prove it). They beat Bard College, where the student code requires all students to wear berets after 8:00am. But in all seriousness, I applaud this monumental win. I can remember the story my brother told me about Stewart Peeples, who is, arguably, the most brilliant graduate of my high school alma mater. As I recall, Stewart was a tall guy, but never so much as even tried out for the high school team (he was busy studying for the SAT). He went to CalTech, played on the basketball team, and when it was winter break, the team voted to forfeit all their games so they could go home for Christmas.

By the way, why the "Beavers"...and in Pasadena of all places...hmmmm.
