...tackle slots, and sophomore John Ferullo is capable of pushing them both. Seniors Bob Teske, Drew Czulewicz and John Casis will compose the interior offensive line, with Teske centering, but behind them there is little depth. An injury to any of the three, especially Cassis, could hamper the Crimson's inside running game, but if they stay healthy, Harvard could have its best complete offensive unit of Yovicsin's tenure...
Linebacking has been superior for several years at Cambridge, and it will stay that way this fall. Farneti and Neal will play the two spots, and sophomore Frank Veteran should play a great deal, too. Frisbie joins Hurley to form a solid cornerback tandem, but at safety, the Crimson is hurting...
...Wynne and Pat Conway were two superb safeties, and their loss could make the Crimson susceptible to the bomb. Junior Bill Kelly, whom Yovicsin had counted upon to move in at one spot, is sidelined for the season while he recuperates from a knee operation. The four other leading candidates--juniors Fred Mattucci, Dick Manny, and Walter Johnson, and sophomore Ron Suduiko--have but 32 minutes of varisty time among them, and unless backfield coach Loyal Park can make them into a solid unit, Harvard will have trouble where it has rarely experienced it before...

Champi has the best throwing arm of any quarterback in Harvard history, but despite his Yale game performance, he has not yet proven his ability to provide stable technical leadership. Roda is an unknown quantity, although in two freshman games at Villanova he threw seven touchdown passes. Smith has most of the ingredients but has not yet used them together, and Crace faces a problem in a system that seldom...
Varney and junior Skip Freeman were starters at offensive end last fall, and their clutch performances throughout the season and in the Yale game, in which they scored 14 of Harvard's 29 points, mark them as a threat equally as strong as the Crimson's ground game...
