Princeton succeeded in blanking the Quakers, 10-0, until the end of the third period. Then Shue, a third-stringer, entered the game and directed Penn to score on a 56-yard drive which was capped by a one-yard plunge by Adolf Bellizeare...
HARVARD-DARTMOUTH - When I went to the Dartmouth game my freshman year, I showed off to my date by predicting which of John Yovicsin's four plays the quarterback would call next. But the quarterback, John O'Grady, a third stringer thrust into the starting role after Yale game hero Frank "42 Seconds" Champi had retired to write poetry and Dave Smith had sprained his ankle running on to the practice field, threw strikes to the Dartmouth linebackers and the Big Green Indians won, 21-10.

A few years ago during the presidency of L.B.J., Dan Sullivan, then second-stringer to Clive Barnes on the New York Times, was sent to Washington, D.C., to cover a play. Stewart Udall, then Secretary of the Interior, passed Sullivan on the aisle, and asked the perennial question, "Where's Barnes?" Retorted Sullivan, in what has become the classic second-stringer's revenge, "Where's Johnson?" Though this has an element of the private joke, Lacy and Rounds are so humanly right in their roles that they suggest similar...
