He has maintained close ties with alma mater and his 1968 teammates, even though "most of the guys have gone in different directions." But Dowling won't be in the stands today when the Elis take the field against Harvard. About the time the coin flip sails into the air.

The first coach to popularize the explosive I formation, McKay...
