...sidelined last week with a shoulder injury. If Berry can’t go, sophomore Steven Williams, who had two interceptions against Dartmouth, will once again take his spot in the starting lineup…After breaking Harvard’s all time rushing record last week, junior tail back Clifton Dawson sits in sixth place among all time Ivy rushing leaders.
