...Harvard coach John Yovicsin was making his first appearance before the masses Saturday afternoon, and Bill Veeck, who had once offered Yovicsin the chance to earn a little money in his spare time, was interested in letting him know that Suffolk Downs still cared for him. Veeck, a sports entrepreneur who has contributed such diversions as the exploding scoreboard to American society, had hired two single-engine planes to fly over the Stadium bearing long streamers with messages to Yovicsin as well as to the fans...

...turned out, a man by the name of Roderic W. Foster helped Yovicsin and the boys out of a potentially embarrassing situation. Foster did a little serious quarterbacking in the second half, driving Harvard to three touchdowns and picking up 78 yards by himself. He also punted, just to keep his hand in.

That's a little more satisfying than arranging Kasanof Bakery Day at Suffolk Downs, which would have been Yovicsin...

...Yovicsin, on the surface at least, appears to be a changed man. He gave his squad a fight talk before kickoff that looked pretty damned emotional from the stands. He was slapping players on the rump when they came off the field after doing nice things there. And he let Foster call his own game, which is something quite different from what had happened last year. Foster, who likes to improvise, was doing things that few Harvard quarterbacks have ever done, like running instead of punting, passing on second down, and picking up yardage from scrimmage. And Yovicsin...
