...Jimmy Stoekel, a good short passer, lacks Crone's arm and speed, but he showed greater poise and steadiness in two of his three games last year. Dartmouth and Penn. In his last effort, against Princeton, he threw poorly, but his pass blocking was non-existent. Stoekel's talent limitations reduce the potential of Restic's system, but Crone appears incapable of realizing the system's potential with any regularity...
Harvard looked fat for about five more minutes, and then the end began on the arm of UMass quarterback Peil Pennington. Getting good field position (an advantage UMass enjoyed more often than not) when Harvard's Jim Stoekel was forced to punt from his own 20 against a strong wind. Pennington proceeded to destroy Harvard's secondary...
...Jimmy Stoekel had replaced Crone at quarterback by this time, however, and he put Harvard back into the game with a 59 yard touchdown pass play. Tight-end Hagerty, who played an excellent game with three receptions after his first quarter fumble, caught Stoekel's pass near midfield, picked up a nice block by sophomore wide receiver Pat McInally, and raced all the way down the sideline...
Harvard had three chances in the final quarter to close the gap. On the first shot, Stoekel was sacked for a ruinous 15 yard loss after another sensational Wheeler run had put the Crimson in scoring range. The second time. Stoekel threw an interception after Wheeler, his intended receiver, had been bumped coming out of the backfield. And finally. Harvard's last gasp a 12 play, 69 yard, two-minute drill drive, died when Stoekel was hit from behind and fumbled...

With DeMars and Rich Gatto, who, although not a great runner, is a smart, consistent back, Restic will have a strong running game, especially if fullback Steve Hall is healthy next year, or if Restic can find someone else. Stoekel should be back, and if Crone can suit his rifle arm to the Restic system as well as he did against Yale, the quarterbacking will be more than adequate. The offensive line will lose a lot of starters, but because Restic so frequently rotated in an equally capable second string, there should...
