...proving will be made all the tougher by some key injuries during the team's training camp during early September at St. George's School in Newport, R.I. Lohrer, junior fullback Kevin Jiggetts, senior midfielder Harold Martin and sophomore forward Dave Eaton have all been sidelined with nagging injuries. These injuries look like mere nosebleeds when compared to the temporary loss of Acorn to knee surgery he underwent during August...
Taylor also returns from a starting position in 1975, when he rushed for 327 yards. Tom Lincoln, who lettered a year ago, is now starting fullback. In the event that Restic casts his eye towards the bench, sophomore Ralph Polillio, the leading rusher on last fall's freshman team, is one of several more than capable substitutes who provide Harvard with quality backfield depth...

Running Back Lydell Mitchell is the team's most effective runner; Roosevelt Leaks, at fullback, will attempt to fill the Colts' weakest offensive slot...

In Savannah, Ga., last summer the tactical police were called upon to cool the ardor of female fans who threw themselves and their phone numbers at Williams during the filming of The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings, a surprise summer hit about the black baseball leagues of the 1930s. Says Sidney Furie, who directed Williams...
