Jay Fiedler '94 leads a star-studded - or as star-studded as the Ivy League gets - contingent of senior first and second team All-Ivy selections at the fourth annual Epson Ivy Bowl this weekend in Tokyo, Japan. Other Big Green football players who are Orient-bound include safeties Jason Fell '94 and Jim McGeehan '94, wide receiver John Hyland '94, offensive tackle Andy McDonald '94, linebacker George Neos '94 and cheerleader Melissa Nguyen '94. The Ivy gridders have not lost the Epson Bowl in the three previous meetings of East versus West, outscoring the apparently out-gunned Japanese team a combined 139-13. The Bowl, which pits the top seniors in the Ivy League against Japan's best college and university players, will be on Saturday in the Tokyo Bowl (tickets are still available). From there, Fiedler heads to Palo Alto, California for the East/West Shrine Game and then to Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl.

But I don't understand Ostrow's complaint that graduate students in the dorms don't further these goals.
