Yohe, the starting quarterback on the freshman team last year, may go to the air more Saturday. And many of his passes will be sailing toward wide-receiver Joe Connolly, who leads the team with 15 receptions for 211 yards. Connolly is also the only Harvard receiver to have scored a touchdown this year.

"Princeton has a weak cornerback we might pick on," Connolly said. "But we're going to stick with the same game plan we used against Dartmouth. Our schedule gets tougher and tougher from here on out--we need to get this game under our belts."

If the passing game doesn't work, Yohe can turn to his running backs--Brian O'Neil (33 carries, 160 yards) and George Sorbara (47 carries, 154 yards). Or Yohe can simply run the ball himself.

Like the Crimson's game against Cornell, Saturday's contest may end up being a defensive one. A touchdown or two may be enough to win it.

The Tigers are led on defense by free safety Dean Cain, who has 33 solo tackles and 16 assists on the year. Defensive end Elton also is an imposing figure, with 16 solo tackles and six assists.

"We've played some good halves," Elton said. "But we've had trouble at other points in the game. As long as we play consistently, we'll be all right. I'm looking for a low scoring game."

The Crimson defense, like its Princeton counterpart, has been solid sometimes and poor at others. Led by Captain and linebacker Scott Collins, the Crimson defense turned in a tremendous performance against Cornell, limiting the Big Red to a mere field goal. Against Holy Cross, however, Harvard collapsed and allowed 44 points.

But the Crimson defense and its cornerback tandem of Don Heberle and Rick Patton should hold Hammond in check--at least in the beginning of the game.

In the meantime, the Harvard offense must show that the potency it displayed last week against Dartmouth, and earlier against Columbia, was no fluke.

Will Harvard turn out to be a scoring power or an offensive fizzle? It will be up to Yohe to prove that the goose eggs the Crimson laid in three games this season won't reappear on the scoreboard at Palmer Stadium.

"I think we're out of that cycle--the games in which we didn't score," Yohe said. "At least, I hope so."
