Harlow stayed with Maryland until 1935, long enough to develop Herb Kopp, now Crimson forward wall coach, into one of the best ever to emerge from Maryland...
Back in 1935, Harvard had an auspicious football season during which it lost, in the order named, to Holy Cross, Dartmouth, Army, Princeton, and Yale. Facetious as this statement may seem, it actually encompasses considerable truth. In 1935, the name of Richard Cresson Harlow, curator of Oology and Coach, Harvard Athletic Association, appeared in the University catalogue for the first time.

If there's the slightest doubt in his mind that a player may seriously aggravate an injury, he'll take that boy out of the game pronto." Practicing what he preaches, trainer Cox plans to send...
