...YALE: The Elis will be very conspicuous by super back John Pagliaro's absence, but nonetheless very visible in their accustomed position near the top of the heap. And while Harvard coach Joe Restic has been known to call Yale mentor Carmen Cozza "a little boy," Cozza's big boys have lost an average of 2.5 league games per season over the last five falls...
...most obvious omission from this year's draft list, however, was, I am sad to say, a Yalie. Apparently the scouts thought John Pagliaro was too slow or too small or maybe they just don't like Italian running backs. But whoever said he isn't fast enough never tried to catch him as he turned it up around the corner, and whoever said he wasn't big enough never tried to tackle him as he lowered the shoulder. And, well, he still is Italian, but so is Franco Harris...

For some reason, the guys who wear the funny hats and build all the hospitals think that only two people per year from the Ivy League should be allowed to play in their classic.

...visitors made one last bid after that, but when Kinchen fumbled Brian Buckley's pitch into the endzone and Yale recovered, even the most optimistic of Cantabrigians had to admit that the game was over. Pagliaro finished with 171 yards...
