NEW YORK (AP) — Having waited 63 years for an Ivy League football title, Columbia had to stand by for another 40 minutes. The Lions had beaten Cornell 17-9 but needed a Harvard loss against Yale to secure a share of first place on the season's final day. So Columbia players retreated to their locker room on a hill a few hundred feet from Wien Stadium to watch the game in Boston on TV as a few hundred fans remained and gazed at the gold-and-orange foliage of Inwood Hill Park glowing in Saturday's afternoon sun.

(WLS) -- A suburban woman is marking 40 years since she had a kidney transplant. The kidney is now 80 years old. Zion woman Debby Ramsey has spent years wanting to thank the donor's family, and they finally made contact this spring. Ramsey had a party very few people get to have. It's the 40th birthday of her kidney transplant. While Ramsey turned 69 a couple weeks ago, she has carried the kidney that saved her life for four decades. Years of life that she has made good use of, raising a large family all thanks to the man who donated his organs after he died. "Something's been given to me. I've been given a gift," Ramsey said. "Maybe I can help someone else in their journey."

"A pivotal role in the success is Deborah herself. She's taken such great care of her health and kidney for 40 years now," Northwestern Medicine transplant nephrologist Dr. Akansha Agrawal said. Ramsey gives back to the transplant community by volunteering at organ donation events. She also competes in the Transplants Games, where she has won medals for swimming. She says she tries to spread the message of the critical need for organ donation, and she got to go to her son's wedding last month. "It was wonderful and she was here to live it," her son, Kevin Ramsey, said. Debby Ramsey says she's incredibly grateful to her donor and his family. She searched for the donor's relatives for decades until a search of genealogy records at the Zion-Benton library finally located the donor's widow in DeKalb County. She sent a thank-you letter her, and they eventually started communicating with each other this spring. "It took her a while to write back. But she did," Ramsey said. "It opened some wounds that bring it all back."

Nevertheless, Ramsey says the donor would have turned 80 this year, and she's determined to continue to honor his life.

Halt arbitrary transfers in state offices – SJBEAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings waived cornerback Akayleb Evans on Saturday in another setback for their beleaguered 2022 draft class. Evans started 15 games last season, but he had been relegated to a special teams role this year after the Vikings added veteran cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin. Evans was a fourth-round pick out of Missouri, one of three defensive backs among Minnesota’s first five selections in 2022. Lewis Cine (first round) was waived and Andrew Booth (second round) was traded earlier this year. One of their second-round picks, guard Ed Ingram, lost his starting spot last week. Evans was let go to clear a roster spot for tight end Nick Muse, who was activated from injured reserve to play on Sunday at Chicago. The Vikings ruled tight end Josh Oliver out of the game with a sprained ankle. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
