...following represents the opinion of a minority of the CRIMSON editorial board, and was written by William R. Galeota, David Blumenthal, and James M. Fallows...
...Crimson is almost shamefully talented. Coach Bruce Munro has several reserves that would be welcome starters on most other Ivy teams. And until Saturday. Harvard had shut out six consecutive opponents. A partial reason may have been the 4-3-3 alignment which Harvard has installed as its system. Even when the versatile formation puts an emphasis on defense, the Crimson forward line of Pete Bogovich, Solomon Gomez, Charlic Thomas and Phil Kydes scores anyway...
...shutout string dissolved in the third period, when Meyers was beaten on a long free kick. And although after the second period Harvard was never in any real danger of losing. Penn was bringing out the best in the Crimson with an aggressive, long-kicking game that gave the fullbacks plenty of business. Long kicks will rarely defeat a strong opponent, especially if he is playing a 4-3-3 defense. But Penn was almost forced into that strategy by the Harvard front line, with Gomez and Thomas continually threatening to break loose on the wing...
...only three Ivy teams stand between the Crimson and its first Ivy title since the days of Chris Ohiri in the early '60's. Princeton will be tough. The Tigers fought Penn with determination before losing 2-1 two weeks ago. Brown is weaker than usual. but it has never been an easy match. Yale has been decimated by injuries. but may be able to put something together...
...road is by no means clear. A loss to any one lets Penn into the Ivy race again, and will hurt the Crimson's third-place ranking in national polls...
