Harvard's front seven is physically hurting, too, which could be a factor against the high-powered offense that the Big Red will run at Harvard. Linebacker Mark Ferguson has a hyperextended wrist and missed three day's practice last week. Left end will be manned by two people who have a season-long history of injuries. Fred Smith should start on the basis of his performance against Columbia, but Smith has a bulky make that delayed his entry into the lineup until last week. The other left end is Mitch Berger, who missed last week's contest became...
Linebacker Mark Ferguson will miss three days' work this week with a hyperextended wrist. Ferguson is not expected to miss Saturday's game, however...
...passing ability, ranks third in alltime yardage statistics, has had 207 career touchdown passes and was 1970's Player of the Year. He threw a lot of interceptions (24) in 1971, though, and was taken out of the 49ers game with Buffalo this year with an injured wrist. With two touchdown tosses last week against New Orleans, he is still in better shape than Jurgensen, 38, who glowers on the bench (at $125,000 a year) while that determined disciplinarian, George Allen, sticks with disciplined Billy Kilmer at the Redskin helm. Unitas joined Namath on that stratospheric...
...play this game seriously and I think scientifically," said Roger Barrett, a member of the high-ranked Fuchsia team from Berkeley, Calif. He and his cohorts had practiced such exotic deliveries as sidearms, thumbers, under-hands and upside-down wrist flips no less than three hours a day for months -but to no avail. They lost in the finals to the defending champion Highland Avenue Aces of Wilmette, 111., who had coolly scouted out the weak spots in the Californians' game. During the match, the winners destroyed Fuchsia's confidence with a steady stream of verbal taunts...
...flung himself into one of the fiercest challenges in the entire piano literature: both books of Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Paganini. He continued with Chopin's powerful Sonata in B Minor, another sonata by Scriabin, a wrist-cracking Etude for the Left Hand by Blumenfeld, and finally Stravinsky's Three Scenes from Petrouchka, a piece that bristles with so many notes that much of it is written on three and even four lines instead of the usual two. He wrapped up the evening with two encores...
