I'm doing a piece for Expository Writing on the outstanding athletes at Harvard. I'd like to interview them all at once, but they're never all free at the same time. What do I do?   Feature Creature

Benninger still seeks advice from his old mentor Karras when he is not sure how to diagnose a play. "He really knows his stuff," Benninger says of Karras. "If you really listen and pay attention and try to do the things the way he teaches you, you'll turn out to be a pretty good player."

Besides his coaching duties, Benninger is presently holding down a third career. He's the color man for WHRB's football broadcasts.

"You have to look at everything when you're the color man," Benninger says. "In the second half of the Colgate game I was a little depressed so I wasn't talking as much as I should. But after all, that's my team out there." "You're playing quarterback all the time."
