...Restic wants a publicity film for "Ivy Football--Canada Style," all he has to do is take the film of the first quarter against BU. It was Restic's style played to perfection. And it was beautiful. The Crimson attack, choreographed by Eric Crone, was smoother than a preppy's pick-up lines. The pieces dropped precisely into place. Everything Restic talks about when Restic talks offense was there is that quarter. There were backs in motion, ends in motion, multiple sets, multiple shifts, roll-out passing, drop-back passing, imagination, and above all, scoring. Especially scoring...
...games into the season, and we've seen the best and worst of Crimson football. But will the evil and good persist as the season unfolds? Are Crone's boys as good as the BU game? Are the deep men as bad as Pennington made them look? With Harvard's first real test rearing up this weekend in New York City against Columbia, Restic has to find out and fast.

Mitch Berger a starting defensive end for two years and an all-lvy performer last season, reinjured his left knee against BU and may be lost for the Columbia contest if not for the season. The loss of Berger--who has a piece of loose cartilage in the knee joint--would be a big blow to the Crimson's front four, and against Columbia, the toughest opponent that Harvard has yet faced, Restic would like to be at full strength...
