Wally Shields, the number two rusher in the Ivies with 312 yards in 63 carries, will be handling the majority of Brown's inside game, and Restic is confident of Harvard's ability to handle that facet of the Brown attack. "If they control the ball inside on us, I'll be very surprised. Our defense has been excellent along the line, and I don't expect Shields to cause too much of a problem," he said...
Quarterback Grogan. New England's running backs have likewise benefited. Fullback Sam ("Bam") Cunningham is off to what could be his best year ever, carrying for 308 yds. in four games. Quick-off-the-ball Andy Johnson is just a few steps behind Cunningham as a rusher.

North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms, New Hampshire Governor Meldrim Thomson, Illinois Congressman Phillip Crane--none set foot in the Hilton.

By morning all of them--Phillips, Rusher, Viguerie, Morris--have packed their Brooks Brothers suits and disappeared...
Taylor also returns from a starting position in 1975, when he rushed for 327 yards. Tom Lincoln, who lettered a year ago, is now starting fullback. In the event that Restic casts his eye towards the bench, sophomore Ralph Polillio, the leading rusher on last fall's freshman team, is one of several more than capable substitutes who provide Harvard with quality backfield depth...
