...talk about the great play of the Eli defensive unit. Led by team captain and right end Fred Leone and the rest of the boys on the front line--who hassled Cuccia-Allard all game long, who held fullback Jim Callinan, averaging 5.3 yards a carry this season going into the Bowl, to just 60 yards on 21 carries--the Elis stalled an inept Multiflex. It was the same story, only twice as bad as last year, when the Elis completely locked out the Harvard strike force, 14-0, in the Stadium...
...Game should be decided by one of the following players: Harvard's Ron Cuccia. Don Allard, Jim Callinan, Jim Villanueva, Joe Azelby or Rocky Delgadillo; or Yale's Rich Diana, John Rogan, Curtis Grieve, or Fred Leone. They are The Players of The Hour, and one of them should make The Play that decides The Game...
...offense, the Crimson's chances for an upset of the 8-1 Elis depend especially on the all-around play of quarterback Cuccia, and the passing of back-up Don Allard. The Elis only loss, last week against Princeton, came when Tiger QB Bob Holly completed 36 of 55 passes for 501 vards, an Ivy record. Cuccia will have to go to the air out of the option play early, to test a suspect Eli secondary, and on those occasions when the first stringer goes in motion. Allard is going to have to throw with authority. He did so last...
...watch Ron Cuccia and the Multiflex try to solve the Eli defense, the league's stingiest. He will mix his plays, offering Yale a dive by Callinan here, a flip to Acheson there, the quarterback-in-motion play (with a few new twists. perhaps). and maybe even a halfback option, too. And whether he succeeds or fails, it will be interesting...
HARVARD 24, YALE 19--First of all, I couldn't sleep if I picked Yale. But Harvard really has a chance to win as well. It's time for Cuccia to explode with a 400-yard passing day (hey, Bob Holly did it, and he wasn't even Southern California athlete of the year) and lead the squad to an upset. You have to like Rogan, you have to like Grieve, you have to like Diana and you have to be seared as hell of Fred Leone, but you also have to, as Brian Wilson erooned so elegantly, "Be True...
