Elsewhere in the record books, Santiago needs 656 yards to crack the number five position on the all-time career total offense list.

Look for a big game from the Saint this weekend. Last time out against Cornell, Santiago picked up 168 yards on 21 carries for his second best day ever. And the first time last year's Ivy League rushing champion touched the ball against the Big Red a year ago--on the game's second play from scrimmage--he bolted around left tackle for a 73-yd. touchdown that is his all-time longest run.

If Santiago ever gets the itch to switch positions, he might want to consider quarterback.

Oh, sure, before last Saturday's contest, Santiago's career passing statistics made him an oafer, as in "o for five" with two interceptions.

But the Saint's fortunes changed late in the game Saturday, when he completed a 10-yd. pass. It was his first completion ever, and it was a first for his receiver, too.

White, who usually throws them, had never before caught one.

Despite his acrobatic catch and an acrobatic two-pt. conversion that tied the score at 14, and despite a 51-yd. touchdown toss to Rufus Jones, White's statistics continue to take a nosedive.

The senior sinal caller, who attempted more passes Saturday (26) than he had in the first two games combined (25), has completed just 17 of 51 for 367 yards.

His .333 completion percentage is the lowest after three games of any Harvard starter in at least the last five years.

And it's well below his stats after three a year ago, when the Massachusetts native had completed 35 of 50 for a whopping .700 clip.

For his career, White now has completed exactly half his passes (90-180) for a .500 percentage and needs just 371 yards to become the fifth leading passer in Harvard history.

Not that it means anything, but the five times since 1940 that the Crimson has won its first two games of the season and lost its third, it's gone on to win its fourth.
