Sophomore Ryan Tyler??who suffered a knee injury two weeks ago that had limited his snaps in practice—was surprisingly utilized by Harvard coach Tim Murphy in Friday’s Crimson-White game. Tyler, who began the transition from running back to wide receiver after losing the backfield battle to Northwestern transfer Clifton Dawson last season, made little impact participating at less than full strength…With Dawson sidelined by the coaching staff for what he termed “precautionary reasons” during the Spring Game, freshman Raffael DeLuca carried the bulk...
Sophomore Ryan Tyler??the featured tailback prior to freshman Clifton Dawson’s arrival—made the jump last season, but injured his knee last week during a contact scrimmage. And classmate Todd LaFountaine, previously the third-string quarterback, began his transition this off-season, but has similarly fallen victim...
...that aside. The purity of Tyler??s vision is beyond question. So what’s so bad about duck boats, even those that are not strictly duckish? Well, to begin with, there’s the problem of Duck Hunt. Who’s to say that Nintendo-addled children of the early 1980s, so frequent on the College campus, wouldn’t grab gray-plastic rifles and start shooting at the pixellated fowl they imagine they see flying by their newest form of transit...
...comfortable Cabot or Currier House. These things should not be confusing. But to those living in a land where a creaky set of buses can pass for a Silver subway line (we wouldn’t like to see what they call the Bronze Line), the introduction of Tyler??s non-duckly fleet could be disastrously confusing. The sleepy Crimson commuter could easily step onto one of the new arrivals and find himself or herself destined for the depths of the river...
Perhaps, then, the aquatic-terraneous transports are not meant to be. Still, a community of scholars like our own should not hesitate to extrapolate theoretical lessons from Tyler??s proposal. Though he quite rightly insists that his buses would not be salvaged from Eisenhower’s army, Tyler cannot deny their resemblance to military surplus—and that is a resemblance which is not in the least shameful. Harvard should take a page from Tyler??s apparent book and get hold of some unused K rations to be parachuted onto Quincy House?...
