Aquamen Slip to 1-4

The Harvard men's water polo team played two of the top four teams in the East this weekend, but the Crimson got past neither.

The aquamen headed to Annapolis, Md. for a five-team jamboree at the U.S. Naval Academy, and went 1-3 for the weekend.

In three games Saturday: Harvard fell to Army, 7-5, lost to Slippery Rock, 13-6, and finally kowtowed to Bucknell, 12-3.

Harvard turned things around yesterday with its first win of the season, a 9-0 shutout of George Washington University.

The Crimson, now 1-4, faced stiff competition all weekend. Slippery Rock and Bucknell came into the contest ranked third and fourth, respectively, in a recent poll of Eastern water polo coaches.

Brown was ranked number one in that poll and Harvard number eight.
