...without taking anything away from Callinan--who may be the finest running back in Crimson history--a ball carrier needs a good line to be effective. Harvard has a good line, anchored by the man Restic calls the ideal Multiflex guard...
Instead of relying on the passing of Ron Cuccia and the razzle-dazzle entries in the Harvard playbook to move the ball, Restic has discovered a secret weapon in his potent running attack. The success of Callinan, Jim Acheson, Jimmy Garvey and others takes the pressure off Cuccia, making the occasional pass or flea flicker more effective. In fact, the offense put 28 points on the board in the first half Saturday without Cuccia completing a pass...
...With Jim Callinan on his way to a possible thousand-yard season and the Crimson ranked second in the entire ECAC in rushing yardage, somebody up there is doing more than that. With only center John Francis back from last year's starters, coach Joe Restic expected some early trouble with his ground game while the inexperienced line learned the ropes. It has not turned out that...
...Callinan, who rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns at Brown Saturday, is on the way to breaking the Harvard single-season rushing record of 950 yards, set by Dick Clasby in 1952. Callinan has run for 718 yards in seven games, and must average 78 against William and Mary, Penn and Yale to top Clasby. For his performance at Brown, Callinan was named to the ECAC Division I honor roll...Rocky Delgadillo needs three more interceptions to tie Phil O'Donnell's Harvard career mark of 15. If he does that, he'll also tie O'Donnell's single...
Offensively, the Crimson proved it could dominate by--as usual--giving the ball to Jim Callinan. En route to his 28-carry, 120-yd. day, Cal showed he has become an automatic four or five yards a carry. He may not be the fastest guy on the team (definitely not), but he is Harvard's most impressive straight-ahead runner in recent history. He has lost the easy-to-injure tag and proved remarkably resilient over this season's long haul, and now needs only 230 yards over the next three games to break Harvard's single-season rushing mark...
