...yard line, about two-thirds of the way up were a group of immaculately dressed girls. "Who are they?" Trevor asked. "They come to watch people in the stands," he was told. "They don't give a damn about football." Harvard scored a touchdown on a 10-yard pass. Crone to Bone, and converted the extra point to take a 7-3 lead. The band broke into "Ten Thousand Men" again. The alumni sighed. No one else, save the crimson jacketed brigade down on the front lines (who broke out another six-pack), seemed to notice. They didn't seem...
...still worry about Eric Crone's consistency, however. Against Cornell, he showed great poise as well as natural ability. His statistics were not impressive, but he kept his cool under pressure in play action and broken play situations. However, unless he has finally tapped some special reserve of confidence, I still question his ability to do the job week after week...
...greatest weakness of the Harvard offense is the lack of a smart, consistent quarterback. Eric Crone is strong and fast, and he throws bullets, but he seems to spend most of his time pumping the ball and vainly looking for his receivers, who are usually wide open...
...regularly stricken with the early game overthrows, and he is one of the few quarterbacks ever to still be faking a pass after running five yards over the line of scrimmage. Crone gets hot occasionally (fortunately, he's hit his groove in the first half against Yale for the last two years), and he never really looks bad enough to permanently find a seat on the bench.

Jimmy Stoekel, a good short passer, lacks Crone's arm and speed, but he showed greater poise and steadiness in two of his three games last year. Dartmouth and Penn. In his last effort, against Princeton, he threw poorly, but his pass blocking was non-existent. Stoekel's talent limitations reduce the potential of Restic's system, but Crone appears incapable of realizing the system's potential with any regularity...
