In the round before the story below, Sternberg
beat BU to Lawrence Taylor off of the word "crack."
This is the same Sternberg who submitted a pack to
Terrier Tussle 8 to which the answer was "crack." (That
tossup began with something about preparing a cookie
sheet. How one confuses a cookie sheet with a "preheat
to 375" is too hard to explain -- the false
assumption that two different writers in two different
tourneys had lifted from the same source, I
guess.)

"I think the funniest
moment in recent Dartmouth history came at the CBI
regional championship game last year. Dartmouth was
playing Williams,
and Ben Sternberg got a tossup
correct with about two seconds left on
the clock. In
an attempt to get points, Ben cried out, 'Smith,
Jones' as
time expired."
