Back up in the press box, the broadcaster for Boston University's radio station was going berserk with two minutes left in the game. "Harvard has the ball in its own territory, and Frank Champi is in there. Champi is the one who performed the heroics against Yale last year, and everyone is wondering, can be do it again. It's all on Champi's shoulders now!" Meanwhile, the B. U. News guy was waiting for Szaro to put on his helmet, and I looked down and saw that it really was B. U. that we were playing...
