Game-related injury. In the first quarter of The Game, spectators at Harvard Stadium looked on in horror as paramedics carried Yale cheerleader Jeannie Poland ’08 GRD ’09 off the field in a stretcher and neck brace. Poland was dropped during the construction of the classic human pyramid. Lindsay Barbee ’09, the co-captain of the cheerleading team, said that the girl holding Poland could not feel her hands due to the cold. As a result, when Poland shifted her weight, the supporting cheerleaders failed to notice and adjust accordingly, causing Poland to tumble dangerously to the ground. In an interview with the News Sunday, Poland said she did not sustain any serious injuries.

Students stranded in Philly. Of the six commercial flights scheduled to land in New Haven yesterday, only three actually arrived at Tweed Airport.

This day in Yale history

1957 An electrical short-circuit in Bingham Hall caused a fire to erupt in the room of Robert Steinkamp ’61. The couch on which Steinkamp was sitting burst into flames. The blaze destroyed much of the furniture in the room, but left other rooms in the suite untouched. Steinkamp emerged from the fire unscathed, and no other students were harmed during the incident.
