How good will Harvard have to play to give the Brown its first loss? "If we play as well as we did against Princeton and Dartmouth. I think we'll do all right," said Munro.
Brown's play this year is not so imposing as its undefeated status. Its first four Ivy wins all came by one-goal margins, and its 1-0 victories over Princeton and Dartmouth pale when compared to Harvard's 2-0 and 6-1 scores.
A serious blot on the Bruin ledger is a 3-3 tie with Springfield.
Brown relies on the best defense in the league and a fast-breaking offense. It is the only Ivy team with individual stars to match the Crimson's impressive lineup, which includes four 1964 All-Ivy selections
The game will be low-scoring, and the game will be rough. There will be at least 5000 venomous Brown fans screaming for the Ivy championship.
But Harvard should disappoint them once again go ahead next week to polish off Yale for at least half of the Ivy League crown.
