Since halfback Jerry Santini is no longer at Penn, and since the Quakers' two best ends are back, the litle quarterback, who is no relation to Alex Zbrezrj, is likely to throw even more this fall...
Another dependable quarterback is, surprisingly enough, at Brown. Bryan Marini throws hard, accurate passes and teamed well with end Greg Kontos last year. Kontos has been graduated, and Brown's ends are not a strong point this year, so Marini might find it wiser to concentrate more on a ground game. He has good backs behind him and is a good runner himself. Marini's greatest contribution, however, may be as an experienced signal-caller for the Bruins' sophomore-laden team...
Koenig was a slight preseason favorite to be the number one quarterback, but at this point. Chasey is the top man and will start against New Hampshire Saturday. One reason for Chasey's recent rise is Koenig's thumb, which he jammed a week ago. Because of the injury. Chasey played almost the entire scrimmage against Boston College Saturday when the aroused Indians won. 42-6. Chasey has always been known as a runner, while Koenig is only adequate, but Chasey's passing was at its best Saturday. He completed 11 of 13 attempted passes...
...difficult to talk about Princeton's quarterback since in the past he has been only a signal caller and a blocker in the single wing. This year's offense will be different, but it is a fairly well-kept secret in what ways it will change. At any rate, it can safely be said that Princeton's backfield is one of the best, and probably the best, in the league. Another undisputable fact is that Scott MacBean and Brian McCullough can both run and pass extremely well...
John Yovicsin also intends to put a quarterback on the field this fall. Frank Champi, another of Harvard's many quarterbacks trained on the junior varsity, is number one right now. Champi throws well, at any rate, and on at least one occasion, performed well under pressure. There is good depth with Dave Smith and Joe Roda. To predict that Harvard will be strong at quarterback would be a risk. Then there was George Lalich...
