Harvard's problem at quarterback is of a different nature. Jim Stoekel's 230-yard passing performance against Dartmouth was impressive, but it may have only confused the quarterback situation. Rod Foster and Eric Crone will both be back at full strength and junior Frank Guerra will, as usual, be waiting on the sidelines for his chance...

...Stoekel took to the air in the second quarter, marching the Crimson 74 yards in nine plays to put Harvard back in the ball game, 7-6. Stoekel either threw or ran on every play, completing five of seven passes, scrambling once for 26 yards, and sneaking over for the TD. Sullivan set up the score, taking a Stoekel pass at the Dartmouth 18 and tightroping down the sideline...
...Stoekel punts gave Harvard great field position in the fourth quarter, but the Indians broke another long run and moved in for what seemed like an easy touchdown.
