...when the Eli defensive unit takes to the field, run your eyes along the line until you come to the right end, Fred Leone (92). The team captain, Leone is actually a linebacker in the Yale defensive formation, but may line up in any number of different sets. That makes him especially hard to keep track of, for both the opposing offense and the people in the stands. It's important for each to know where Leone is, however--he's the one the Eli defense turns to for the big play in crucial situations...
Last season he became only the third Eli back to break the 1000-yd. barrier, rushing for 1074 in ten games. In addition, he ranked second in the nation in all-purpose running (which includes returns) with an average of 174.9 yards per game. This year, Diana has been even more impressive. He's already broken the Yale records for carries (265) and yards gained (1355) and has scored 13 touchdowns--all in nine games.

Go here and gloat if Harvard wins, stay away if we lose. This is where you will find the Eli football team after the game, so gloat cautiously...
...Haven on Saturday. Harvard and Yale will renew their un-paralleled rivalry for the 98th time. And for the 98th time, nothing else will matter for two-and-a-half late-autumn hours in the rarifield world inhabited by Crimson and Eli supporters--not other football games, not the Dow Jones Industrials, not any clear and present dangers...
