Weller will be flanked on the right by Donnie Allard, a comeback-of-the-year success story who raised his average 200 points from the previous campaign and belted a team-leading six homers...
...talk about the great play of the Eli defensive unit. Led by team captain and right end Fred Leone and the rest of the boys on the front line--who hassled Cuccia-Allard all game long, who held fullback Jim Callinan, averaging 5.3 yards a carry this season going into the Bowl, to just 60 yards on 21 carries--the Elis stalled an inept Multiflex. It was the same story, only twice as bad as last year, when the Elis completely locked out the Harvard strike force, 14-0, in the Stadium...

Cuccia will have to go to the air out of the option play early, to test a suspect Eli secondary, and on those occasions when the first stringer goes in motion. Allard is going to have to throw with authority. He did so last...
