...knew before the season started that one of our big problems would be the offensive line." Coach John Yovicsin admitted. "At five of the seven positions we were counting on inexperienced players. We were hoping they would develop, and they have quite a bit, but you can't expect to go through the tough Ivy League schedule with that inexperience and win all your games. As a matter of fact.

Gunn who was on the JV last year, and Zukerman. who took a year off from school, are typical of the inexperience Yovicsin was talking about.

With Leo sidelined, the experts figure one of the two safeties will fill in. Yovvy isn't talking. The protagonists aren't quite so discreet...
