Indeed, this defense had enough honor to spread around. In four games, it had yielded but 41 points, and no more than one touchdown in any single contest. But with Dartmouth--and its feared Kemp-to-Shula passing combination--upcoming next week, the tests continue getting tougher. And against the Big Green, like the Big Red this past Saturday, big revenge will be in order...

"I'm really pleased with the progress that Harvard has already made. They did everything right, but our competition is tougher, so our tempo is just a little bit higher.
