...Restic must of course find a replacement for Mark Ferguson at the outside linebacker spot. At present no one has the inside track on the position, either from eye-opening talent or experience. Jon Hall, John Keough and Eric Kurzweil all have a shot, and a dark horse could be Brian Baslik. Baslik, a rough and tumble performer his freshman year, is returning to Harvard this Fall after a year off. Despite the question mark at Ferguson's old spot the LINEBACKING looks VERY STRONG...
Next in line on the Crimson D, as far as strengths go, is the end position. Restic is touting his defensive end pairing as one of the most efficient in the Ivies. "We will probably have the best pair of ends in the league," he says. Which may be true, but this prognostication depends on the success of one man coming back from knee surgery and the ability of a freshman to adapt to varsity ball...
...other end is up for grabs. Since Mike McHugh and Fred Smith have both graduated, Restic must come up with another starter. Peter Mee, a 6 ft. 4 in., 215-pound sophomore, seems to have the inside track on the starting position. But if Mee fails to make the adjustment from freshman to varsity competition, JV veterans Joe Mackey and Hardy Wiedemann will get the call. Outlook for ENDS: GOOD TO EXCELLENT...
...rest of the defense, i.e. the secondary, looks very hazy and gray The loss of Steve Golden, Bert Broyer and Rich Bridich left a vacuum at adjuster which still exists. Sophomores Ted Jadick and George Newhouse might fill the gap, but neither has proved he can handle the job. Restic has even talked of scrapping the adjuster altogether and throwing in another defensive back...
...Sciolla is the only returning letterman at defensive halfback. A spot player last year, Sciolla looked good in third-down passing situations when he came in to shore up the aerial defense and should end up as one of the starters for the Crimson this Fall. Still, Restic has to find two other people to work at halfback (only one if he finds an adjuster). Mike Page, who was injured last year, and Alex Costello are two possibilities, with freshmen Jon Judge and Barry Cronin also in the picture...
