Assistant coach George Karras calls Harvard's punt coverage team its most improved area over last year. With just the right combination of linemen for heft and backs for speed, both Columbia and UMass rarely had decent field position. Karras lauds this area, as well as the kickoff return team, as "outstanding, to put it mildly...
Jolly Read. Small wonder then that Now Playing at Canterbury seems designed to stun the carpers into silence. The novel's considerable heft and the titular allusion to Chaucer are signs that High Seriousness is about to be committed.
