October 24, 1987: The Harvard football team finds a new hero--diminutive running back Bob Glatz--and the Crimson roars past Princeton, 24-19. Glatz rushes for 70 yards and catches 64 yards worth of passes to help keep Harvard in the race for the Ivy title.

Yohe turns in a solid day--187 yards passing--but is outplayed by Princeton signalcaller Jason Garrett, who throws for 272 yards.

The men's soccer team (9-0-2) scores five goals, but barely survives Princeton, 5-4. Sophomore Nick D'Onofrio nets the game-winning goal 90 seconds into overtime.

The women's soccer team finds offense in a closet and wears it to Ohiri Field. Harvard knocks off Princeton, 2-0. Pinezich and Biggs get the Crimson goals. The Crimson writes: "The drought is over." And it wasn't even raining.

November 7, 1987: The Crimson football squad gets a taste--no, a 16-ounce glass-full--of humility. Harvard goes against the best team in Division I-AA, the Holy Cross Crusaders, and gets an unholy beating, 41-6.

Cross Heisman candidate Gordie Lockbaum, the fellow who plays both offense and defense and sells hot dogs in the stands at halftime, throws a late-game TD pass to cap the rout.

Meanwhile, the men's soccer team gets past the University of Pennsylvania, 3-1, to earn at least a share of the Ivy title.

November 8, 1987: They play the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team's theme song--"The Star Spangled Banner"--before the game and the Olympians send rockets glowing red white, blue and all 25 colors of the rainbow toward Harvard goalies John Devin and Michael Francis. Harvard looks a bit shellshocked after this one, a 15-3 Team USA triumph.

But Harvard Coach Bill Cleary, who played on the 1960 U.S. goid-medal team, is not upset. In fact, he skips across the ice after the game and offers his congratulations to the Olympians.

The Crimson writes, "Never has a losing coach been more amiable in defeat."

November 13, 1987: The Harvard hockey team begins its real season with a 5-0 blanking of Brown in Providence. Devin is injured, so Francis, a freshman, gets the start and comes up big.

Francis credits his defense with the win. "I didn't have to work, really," Francis says. He does, however, finish with 24 saves.

November 14, 1987: The Harvard football team defeats Penn, 31-14, and improves its league record to 5-1. The Crimson gets set to meet Yale in The Game. Only this Game will be THE GAME. The winner will carry home the Ivy League championship trophy.

"I'm so excited," Harvard Captain Kevin Dulksy says after the Penn game. "I want to go down to New Haven and play that game right now."

Playing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the men's soccer team manages to get past the University of Connecticut, 1-0, even though the game is played in front of 8000 viscious Huskie partisans in Storrs, Conn. David Kramer scores the game-winner.
