Easily the best in the East at what he does, Czinger is everywhere on the field, an omnipotent presence who promises to fill even the huge and capable hands of Harvard's highly touted offenseive line. As his tough-tackling teammates have been felled by injuries, Czinger has just moved over to fill the gaps. "Yale's strength is Czinger," laments Brown coach John Anderson, who says that number 40 singlehandedly wiped his team off the field two years running. "He ruins your whole game plan...
