Harvard Faces Brown in Crucial Ivy Contest

Improving Bruins Look for Upset

On the season, Holt has hit on 81 of 148 attempts for 1108 yards and 13 touch-downs. He is tied with Cornell quarterback Kevin Sigler for the lead in total offense in the Ivy League, with an average 183 yards per game.

Adjuster George Newhouse will return to the lineup for the Crimson today, having been replaced by John Clark in the last two ballgames. "We feel very fortunate that John was able to step in and do such a fine job for us," Restic said.

In a sidelight, the Crimson's Pat McInally will be looking to set another record, since one more touchdown reception will break his own Harvard single-season record and tie Tim Berra (of UMass) for the New England mark at 15.

Milt Holt will be looking for his own record on the same play, as his next touch-down pass will set a new Harvard record for scoring tosses in one season. He is currently tied with Ric Zimmerman on the all-time Crimson list with 13 touchdowns.

The healthy, high-powered Crimson offense will be tested by the Brown bruisers today, with the key being the ability to move the ball in the air. Harvard's defense, meanwhile, faces a Bruin offense which has been moving the ball well lately, except for a tendency to make mistakes at crucial times.

"Momentum has shifted in our favor the past two weeks after a rough start," Anderson said. "Our players remember last year's game with Harvard and would like nothing better than to turn the tables Saturday. We can really be the spoilers and our kids would love to have a say in the Ivy race."

"They seem to play well when they see a Crimson uniform," Restic said. "We may be in for a real show."
