...chief beneficiary of the arrival of a real passer in Cambridge was an expasser himself, a quite celebrated one at that. Ron Cuccia, the Los Angeles high school superstar who, like Buckley, had to sit out last season with eligibility problems, exploded in his varsity and split end debut...
...first pass of the game told the story. On Harvard's first possession, an impressive eight-minute drive that ended in a 42-yd. Dave Cody field goal, Buckley dropped back on second and seven on the Harvard 43 and lofted a perfect spiral to the right sideline that Cuccia leapt for and snagged for a 13-yd. gain...
Look for excitement to come from the wide-receiver spot, where Ron Cuccia, also a back-up QB, will be making his varsity debut.

"It would be a waste to put either Buckley or Cuccia on the bench," captain Chuck Durst said yesterday, and Restic, commander of the injury-ravaged Crimson, can ill-afford to let prime talent stand idle...
