Just as the long-awaited negotiations on the war in Viet Nam were getting under way, U.S. headquarters in Saigon announced that American casualties during the previous week were the highest yet: 562 killed in action.

While unwilling to abandon this principle, the Dunlop Committee is sure that some exceptions are in order if Harvard is to win battles for younger men and thus recommends "some greater degree of administrative flexibility be regarded as appropriate in individual cases...
...Since Yovicsin must devote much of his time to public relations and administrative chores, Lentz has filled a vacuum by providing enthusiasm and instruction to the team as a whole. Defensive players who have played professional football after graduating from Harvard have remarked that their training under Lentz was equal to, or better than, that of any big-time players...
