...potential strength of this squad, however, depends heavily upon the fulfillment of several "ifs" of of the first magnitude. If Bruce Richardson and Ted Schoenberg can get down to the 136 and 121 pound weight classes respectively for the big matches, and if Tom Lacey and Vern Miller are able to report for the mat sport, Harvard will stand a very good chance of having an undefeated year in dual meets. Both Richardson and Schoenberg will have their hands full trying to make these weights very often, but most Crimson opponents usually have some men wrestling one class below normal...

Big Vern Miller will undoubtedly learn a lot of wrestling in a few weeks under Pat Johnson, but hard-working Gardiner will give him a good battle before being displaced.
