...side attack. He always requests a room without a view lest he be distracted from the game. If he ventures out, he always takes his trusty leather pocket set with him. On elevators, in taxis, between dinner courses?he is always at it, busily fiddling away like some old crone at her knitting. "Why should I bother with anything else?" he asks. "Chess is my profession...
...Bruins couldn't quite hold on to a rally, and dropped their eighth in a row, 24-19. One of the lesser quarterbacks in a league full of mediocre quarterbacks, Bob Zinc, riddled the Crimson secondary and erased Harvard's 17-3 lead, but the Crimson, behind Crone, produced a late touchdown and sent the Brown fans home to mourn another endless fall...
...well, and he did not receive much support from his blockers, who left him unprotected seven times for minus 55 yards. After the seventh time, Stoekel limped off the field to the hospital, lost for the rest of the season. The game was distinguished by the return of Eric Crone, who threw two interceptions and two incompletions in four desperation attempts in the last minutes...
...Restic, it meant the difference between a good and a bad season, and for some of the alumni who pester him unmercifully all season, it meant Restic's job. Restic was saved from an avalanche of angry letters and threatening phone calls by none other than "Endzone" Crone, the infamous hero of the '70 Harvard-Yale game. Endzone was hot, going 8-12 for 147 yards and two touchdowns (including a 29 yard TD off a Restic special quarterback-in-motion play) in the first half, while the defense added two more touchdowns to give Harvard a 28-2 half...

Stoekel should be back, and if Crone can suit his rifle arm to the Restic system as well as he did against Yale, the quarterbacking will be more than adequate. The offensive line will lose a lot of starters, but because Restic so frequently rotated in an equally capable second string, there should not be any noticeable weakness up front...
