Harvard, which got on the scoreboard in each quarter, retaliated with a 40-yd. field goal by Geroge Arnold to make the score 15-6 at the half.

While Restic has not yet decided who will handle the place-kicking for Harvard, he has some promising ex-soccer players and says, "The kicking game is starting to round into shape."

Arnold racked up a fourth point in the third quarter after fullback Tom Beatrice rushed the ball in from the two yardline before N.U. scored seven more points.

The teams exchanged touchdowns again in the final 15 minutes. Husky Rob Gardner intercepted a pass and ran it 75 yards to give N.U. a final tally of 19 points.

Sophomore Steve Bianucci boosted Harvard to a final score of 29 with a 3-yd. rush good for six points while Casey made it seven with an accurate place-kick.

While the team may still lack depth and experience, Restic said, "The players will impress you with their enthusiasm and desire to play and if they hustle, regardless of the outcome, I'll be happy."

IN BRIEF: The season opener against Columbia is shaping up like a match of mirror images. Both Harvard and Columbia are looking for strong defensive performances while searching for the unknown from virtually brand-new offensive backfields. Also, both teams have untested kicking games...Junior Jim Keyte, who began the season as what looked like Harvard's No. 2 quarterback, has moved to ahalfback's position "for good, if it works out," Restic said.
