...last two weeks, McCluskey hasn't been running as well. Obviously slowed down by his leg injury, he has totaled minus five yards rushing. His passes have been far off-target too; his completion record is four...
...offense, whether Tom Bilodeau or John McCluskey is at quarterback. Bilodeau, 15 for 20 passing last week, is as good a passer as Harvard has had in years. McCluskey, the team's leader in rushing, is just as big a threat, when he's healthy, as his rival.

And to make the slow corrosion of conscience more graphic, the good burghers of Guellen struggle against the all-too-solid temptation of a flotilla of trucks-crammed with fancy clothes, TV sets and shiny gadgetry, no down payment required...
