First Larry Brown drove the Crimson 65 yards in nine plays, with Jon Sigillito doing the honors on an eight-yard pitchout. This march was the first of three in the opening half, when Harvard's offensive line treated the Dartmouths with Rodney Dangerfield-like respect. In other words, with none. The holes that opened were immense, and at least on this day, Brown, Sigillito, Ralph Polillio, and Chris Doherty looked like the Four Horsemen of Fresh Pond Parkway...
