Dowling Speaks

The Making of a Hero:I

Brian Dowling walked casually across the water of Long Island Sound yesterday musing on next Saturday's game against Harvard.

"I don't like to talk about myself very much. I leave that sort of thing up to you guys," Dowling said as he modestly tied his shoe. "I like to think about the team. I love this team; without them I probably couldn't have scored more than 30 points this year."

"I don't mean to take anything away from that Harvard team. They got a really good guy in that little Gatto fellow. He's a real sparkplug. And that defense: wow, from what I've seen in the films they know how to play football. But let's get back to me."

"I guess you already asked me how many games I've won in a row. Yep, I haven't lost since 7th grade and that was only because I had a broken leg and the coach wouldn't let me play both ways." Brian smiled broadly, "But I'll tell you about that tomorrow."
