...observers were hoping for such a happy finale after watching the Crimson's opening effort against Holy Cross. The Crusaders sailed right through the middle of the Harvard defense for 200 yards in the first half, and the Crimson offense went virtually nowhere. Rod Foster replaced injured Eric Crone in the second half and marched the Crimson up and down the field, but a crucial dropped pass and a last-second interception doomed Harvard to the short end of a 21-16 score...
...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...

I had seen players like DeMars and Crone advance to starting positions on the varsity, but I remained a lowly junior varsity, but I remained a lowly junior varsity player. From week to week. I would go in and ask the coaches why I was not being moved up to the varsity. They gave me every reason in the world but the truth. On different occasions, Stephens would tell me varying reasons...
