...reviewed Yale's offense carefully. "The big thing to watch is that fullback up the middle," said Jim Lentz. "They rely on it a lot. There's an option--they fake to the fullback off tackle and pitch to a halfback outside, but the fullback runs right at the tackle anyway. When he does that, I don't mind if you knock him down," he smiled happily...

Lentz was nervous. Quickly, he went over all the important defensive plays, especially for the defensive backfield. With Mercein out, we would have to contain Yale's top offensive threat, quarterback Ed McCarthy's passing...
