Certainly the Crimson was a powerful machine, stacking up eight teams and having its unbeaten record marred only by a 10-10 tie with Princeton. Led by lightning halfback "Natick Eddie" Casey, Harvard's only All-American in 1919, the Crimson scored a phenomenal 222 points to their opponents' 13 during the regular campaign. Casey was an exceptional runner and pass receiver...
Gatto will be the only non-Eli speaking at the dinner. Joining him on the podium will be Charles O'Hearn, representing the undefeated Yale team of 1923: Danny McGill, halfback on the 1956 club, and Mike Pyle, captain of the undefeated 1960 squad who is now captain of the Chicago Bears...

Simpson (who carried the ball 25 times for 128 yds. and two touchdowns) before top-ranked Southern Cal could eke out a 14-3 victory over a stubborn band of sophomores from Indiana. In the Sugar Bowl, thrice-beaten, unranked Louisiana State spotted unbeaten, No. 6-ranked Wyoming a 13-0 halftime lead, then bounced back...
