...JENSEN--Not the newscaster, but a 6-ft. 4 3/4-in. Terrier quarterback who leads Division I AA in passing efficiency with a 63.8 per cent rate (30 of 47, no interceptions, 412 yards and five...
...nooooooo. This will be anthing but a simple non-League week for Harvard. The Terriers, currently No. 3 in Division I AA and piling up points like ravenous grizzlies preparing for winter, are massive, multi-dimensional, and riding the crest of a three-game winning streak. Third-year coach Rick Taylor has amassed a group of beefy boys, with the B.U. offensive line averaging well over 230 pounds a man. For Harvard, not known for its awesome size, the test of what has thus far proved a stellar Crimson defense should be crucial...
...that was all that mattered. Red Schoendienst was the resident second baseman for the Cards in those days, and no minor leaguer was about to dislodge him. The closest Weaver came was a single spring training on the big league roster before being sent down again to Class AA.

Essentially, the bylaw, as approved January 13, 1978, splits Division I football--the so-called football elite--into two subsets--Division I-A and I-AA. The results of this restructing plan, which Bob Murphy, the Ivy League and numerous other NCAA members opposed, had, on the surface, little impact. The old Division I was composed of 144 members. Its new equivalent, Division I-A, has 139. Because they could not meet the criteria established for eligibility in Division I-A, five schools dropped into I-AA. In addition, 28 Division II schools moved up to I-AA to form...
