John Yovicsin also intends to put a quarterback on the field this fall. Frank Champi, another of Harvard's many quarterbacks trained on the junior varsity, is number one right now. Champi throws well, at any rate, and on at least one occasion, performed well under pressure. There is good depth with Dave Smith and Joe Roda.
