Cribbage
,→The 100th Game of 2002 - 2003
Some, including Jonathan, probably did not know what lengths Zach had to go to to make the 9pm starting time. A [[Men's Golf Team]] dinner at the Williams Inn saw the team sit down at 7pm, get noticed for service at 7:30pm, eat appetizers at 8:15pm, and be served the main course at 8:45pm. After wolfing down lamb chops (ha, ha), Zach turned to the 70-year-old Williams alumnus who was paying for dinner and calmly said, "Thank you so much, but I have to run - I have a big cribbage game." He then literally ran the half-mile across campus to the Odd Quad, arriving in East 3 with a minute to spare.
East 3 freshmen who popped their heads into the common room were understandably a bit confused at a card game surrounded by fans and being announced in a semi-serious manner. The game was a runaway from the beginning; exhausted from the sprint, Zach had nothing left in his tank and lost handily to Jonathan, who had napped all afternoon in preparation for the big game. Color analyst Dan Krass praised Jonathan's aggressive pegging while questioning many of Zach's decisions and faulting his conditioning - it was clear that the strenuous off-season golf training regimen just had not kept him fit enough to put up a fight in the 100th cribbage game.
