Trevor had to think about that for a while, so he cut short his roommates dissertation on alumni and looked over the scene. Down on the playing surface, the offense was marching down the field toward what appeared to be an inevitable touchdown. Wheeler in motion, DeMars bucked through the guard hole for a seven-yard gain. "So that's the Restic multiple offense," Trevor thought. "Whew" There was awe in his sigh. The diehard football enthusiasts were sitting up close to the action, so as not to miss a play, or even a signal. Trevor could pick them...
Harvard does have probably the best one-two punch running game in the League with DeMars and Wheeler. Unfortunately, Restic's system demands that its back catch as well as run, and neither back has shown great hands (especially Wheeler). Wheeler's speed more than compensates for the loss of Richie Gatto as a runner, but Harvard sorely misses Gatto, who led the team in receptions last year, as a receiver...
...backfield, captain Ted DeMars will again pair with Mark Wheeler, and Marc Mayberg will be the fullback. Restic still refuses to name his starting quarterback until the day of the game, but on the basis of performance in the first two games, it would seem that Eric Crone has the inside track on the starling berth...
What is the story then? Based on its most recent performance, the offense seems to have found consistency and the scoring touch. Crone directs the attack with authority, and his play selection has been good. Ted Demars and Mark Wheeler give Harvard a pair of halfbacks who complement each other as well as any in the league.

...Wheeler picked up the third Crimson score at 10: 43 of the first period. Taking a handoff from Crone, Wheeler broke off left tackle, reversed his field, and scored on a twisting 38-yard touchdown scamper through the raindrops...
