...Frank Champi, under great pressure to prove that he can handle the Crimson quarterback job, disappeared among players on the sidelines after two and a half quarters Saturday as he watched Dave Smith direct the team.

Smith has most of the ingredients but has not yet used them together, and Crace faces a problem in a system that seldom...
