...defensive backfield could be a real source of weakness. Restic enthusiastically points to a wealth of experience in the defensive secondary, as he has four veterans returning--Barry Malinowski, Mike Murr, Wes Schofner, and Rich Bridich. But those same veterans provided possibly the worst pass coverage in the League's last year, experiencing such humiliations as a 285-yard day by a single opposing receiver, Doug Clune of Pennsylvania. Restic attributes the bad days of the pass defense to over-aggressiveness. He plans to use less blitzing, which left Harvard's slow defensive backs in vulnerable man-to-man situations...
...really good ones in its League opener against Columbia and the Lions' All-Ivy Don Jackson. If Harvard's defense doesn't succeed in penetrating the Columbia pass blocking, as it did last year, Jackson and his best receiver, Jeme Parks, may devour Harvard's slow pass coverage. Restic said the Columbia game "will pretty much tell you which...

There were a lot of complaints that the only thing that his new system opened up were the mouths of yawning fans who were bored to death up in the stadium Saturday after Saturday...
...Hugh. I was just thinking that a year ago. Restic and Bostonians buzzing with talk about the revolution he was going to pull off in the Harvard football program. For 13 years, the Crimson had been under the staid hand of John Yovicsin, who strongly believed in the three yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust approach to the game. You know, Yovicsin was pretty Puritan in his outlook--he wanted his squads to take just enough to get by and not give up any frivolous benefits to the opponents. Defense and grind it out'. That fitted John...
...just thinking, here this guy Restic comes in and wants to throw over the whole thing. Like on offense it was rumored that he was going to show more motion to Harvard people than had been seen since tight skirts hit Pine Manor. He was talking backs in motion left, and backs in motion right, razzle dazzle in the middle, passing--all kinds of fireworks. He claimed that Bostonians were going to see points put on the scoreboard had seen east...
