Dartmouth students apologize for referring to Harvard athletes in terms usually reserved for Yankees players

The louts got out of hand at a squash competition:
While playing his match, Cohen, the Harvard squash player, was told he had small genitals and asked if he liked bagels, a phrase his mother viewed as a reference to the family's Jewish surname.
Meanwhile, Dartmouth man has trouble dealing with Wellesley women.

Maybe they should rename the school....

Just change one letter
Fartmouth.
Dartmouth students outraged over bagel assertion
But not about assertions that they called Harvard players cocksuckers and female fans whores (see the comments) Also, the Jewish guy's mother added it wasn't just the bagel thing; they were also yelling:
