Penn is also suffering from injuries. Micir's injured leg may be the difference between winning and losing, and linebacker Phil Adams will miss the game.

Kicking

Both teams have excellent kickers. Harvard's Richie Szaro is within a point of scoring more points than any other Harvard kicker Penn's Eliot Berry has been one of the best kickers in the league for three years.

Player-coach feelings have beenstrained on both teams. Four players, including the Quakers' most promising running back, quit the Penn team, while relations between coach John Yovicsin and quarterback Foster reportedly have not been good.

Only one black player, Walt Johnson, showed up at practice on Tuesday, although all the blacks were back by Wednesday.

Foster has a chance to establish himself at quarterback with an outstanding game against the Quakers. A shaky beginning will probably bring Crone into the game, and the quarterback question will continue to be unresolved.

A poor game from the quarterbacks will probably result in a defeat for Harvard. A loss for Harvard will almost definitely mean a losing season.
