"With the team, there is no difference," Clark says. "We're one big happy family. As far as I can tell, everyone here is happy about the way I'm playing. In high school, I never had a problem."

For Glover, who lives in San Diego, Calif., there was never any problem with his playing quarterback.

"I came from a Black neighborhood," Glover says, "so someone had to do it."

He says he has never had a problem with being one of the team's leaders at Penn. His claim is backed up by several of his teammates.

"A lot of people look up to him as being a leader," says junior running back Bryan Keys. "I think that says a lot about Black quarterbacks, Black people and the Ivy League. At an Ivy League school, as prestigious as Penn is supposed to be, a Black is looked up to by other players on the team."

While McCluskey had a favorable experience as the pioneer quarterback at Harvard, the Black quarterback who followed him did not enjoy a similar experience.

Foster, who now sells real estate in Dallas, burst onto the national scene in his first varsity appearance for Harvard. With the Harvard offense struggling in its season opener against Northeastern in 1970, Foster, a sophomore, came off the bench and dazzled.

Passing for 120 yards and running for another 78, Foster spearheaded the Crimson to a 28-7 victory over the Huskies. The local media conducted a frantic search to find out who the new Black quarterback was.

"I got quite a bit of attention after that game," Foster says. "I got known all over the country after my sophomore year. It's just too bad my junior and senior years could not have been as good."

Like a bolt of lightning, Foster disappeared as quickly as he had come. In a game against Princeton, he broke open a close game by scoring on an electrifying 78-yard quarterback draw he had called at the line of scrimmage.

But when he was running for the touchdown, he pulled a hamstring muscle, and limped the final 20 yards before collapsing in the end zone.

Foster missed the final two games of the season and found himself second-string the next year, Harvard Coach Joe Restic's first season.

Foster--known as a hot dog on the field and outspoken off it--never quite got along with the coaches at Harvard.

Off the field, and usually in the locker room after games, he gave a hungry media the quotes it craved.

After regaining the starting job when Eric Crone was injured, Foster complained to reporters after a victory over Holy Cross that the team was being fed Restic's Multiflex offense too quickly.
