WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williams College Ephs and Amherst College's Lord Jeffs squared off against each other on Nov. 9 at Weston Field in what was not only the final varsity football game of the season, but the last game ever played on the field's grass surface.

PINE VALLEY, N.Y. — Williams College had no answer for the red-hot Elmira Eagles and lost, 5-1. The Eagles improve to 5-1-1 on their four-game win streak as the Ephs drop to 1-3-0. Elmira unleashed the scoring frenzy in the second and third periods, scoring five times before the Ephs responed with Cristina Bravi's unassisted goal.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — There are 193 million acres in the national forest system. But, not one of those acres is in Massachusetts. The Berkshire Regional Planning Commission is working to see if that can change — not by carving out a piece of land on the order of California's Sequoia National Forest, but by developing partnerships between private landowners interested in making their property part of a network of forestland with the National Forest designation. "The [U.S.] Forest Service is interested in a new model for national forests," BRPC Assistant Director Thomas Matuszko said on Tuesday evening. "This designation, which hasn't been done
