...last year has moved into the middle, and he and Culig are vying for the top spot. Culig has the know-how but may be hindered by size. He's only 5 ft. 10 in. and 200 pounds. If neither of these two picks up the slack at center, Restic will be forced to move Manna from tackle, which would throw the tackle slot into confusion. Prospects for CENTER: QUESTIONABLE...
...guard the Crimson looks well stocked. Returnees Ferry and Friar (if they stay healthy) could be a productive duo. Ferry, 6 ft. 1 in. 210 pounds, was a second-team All-Ivy last year, and Restic expects him to have an outstanding year. And what is even more important, Ferry is durable--his 210 minutes playing time topped all offensive linemen last year. Kircher, Bauer, Dombrowski and Pisanelli could provide much needed depth, a rarity for the Crimson this year. The only drawback at present is that Friar and Bauer are both nursing pre-season injuries. GUARD LOOKS VERY SOLID...
...clouds the picture a little. Jiggetts must now step in and assume control of one tackle slot immediately. And if Manna moves to center, things really look bleak. Another possibility is Richard Lowry, a sophomore who goes 6 ft. 7 in. and weights in at 270 pounds. According to Restic, Lowry is not as far along at this point as Jiggetts, but he may be thrown into the picture earlier than planned if either Jiggetts or Manna depart. TACKLES appear GOOD BUT NO DEPTH...
...problem is finding someone to hold down the tight spot. Last year, John Hagerty took care of everything necessary at tight end, but this season the position is a hide-and-seek proposition. Junior Pete Curtin and sophomore Walt Herbert both have the size, but have limited experience. Restic is thinking of trying lanky wide receiver Pat McInally at the spot. "If McInally is able to block, we may move him over to the other side (tight end)," Restic says. Whether the highly-touted McInally can handle the tough inside work at tight end is questionable. Or rather, the issue...
LAST YEAR the greatest inconsistencies in Harvard's performance came in the kicking game. This Fall, since Restic has no new people to handle the job, he is devoting more practice time to improving this facet of the game. Bruce Tetirick handles the short field goals and conversions competently. But Tetirick has limited range, and last year missed some crucial extra points. McInally, who handles kickoffs and long field goals, has a strong leg but is inconsistent. He often booms kickoffs over the end zone only to squib on the next attempt. He needs consistency. PLACEKICKING looks FAIR...
