Impressive. But other than that, the pickings are slim.

With quarterback Bill Pienias '93 gone, Kwiatkowski has now turned to junior Trevor Yankoff, who will be starting just his second Ivy League game. (Sophomore Gordie Myers started the first five games but his ineffectual play led Kwiatkowski to move him to split end.)

This season, Yankoff is 28-for-72 for 372 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. Yankoff has the added burden of operating Kwiatkowski's trademark "Wing-T Flex" offense, an innovative Multiflex style attack which has not gotten its due because of Brown's horrible personnel.

Senior linebacker Todd Hunter leads the Brown defense with 60 tackles.

It's a bleak scene. But Brown is a bleak team in a bleak stadium. Hell, Brown is a bleak school and Providence is a bleak city.

A final point to consider: ESPN star and Brown grad Chris Berman got his start covering football games for the campus radio station. But only at Brown would the biggest football star of them all get his start on the sidelines.

THE NOTEBOOK: Cincinnati football Coach Tim Murphy has surfaced as a leading candidate on the four or five-person short list to replace the outgoing Restic, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported yesterday. Murphy refused to comment. Murphy is 15-36-1 in four years as coach of the Bearcats. Harvard Sports Information Director John Veneziano told the Enquirer the athletic department hopes to make a decision seven to 10 days after the season. SPORTS CUBE PREDICTS
