He and center Dean Jacobson then campaigned to be named The Crimson's Male Athlete of the Year. At the very least, a feature? Or Athlete of the Week?

After being assured that their public relations was in good hands--"Remember, I'm the only two-time captain in the history of modern Harvard football," Bibro said--they caught up, planned for the barbeque after the game, and talked about their futures.

Along with the fun in the stands, there was a game. The White team ended up beating the Crimson team, 14-7. More importantly, there were some performances that could have an impact on next year's playing time.

Freshman receiver Dan Farley made some nice plays, and freshman defensive back Shawn Parker broke up a pass and blocked two field goals. The defensive line put some pressure on the quarterback, and freshman receiver Eric LaHaie seemed to connect with junior quarterback Brad Wilford.

The Wilford-LaHaie duo accounted for the first score of the game. From around the 17-yard line, Wilford, quarterbacking the White team, found LaHaie on a post for the score. Junior quarterback Rich Linden had started at quarterback for the first-team offense on the Crimson team but had some trouble finding his receivers.

In the second half, the quarterbacks switched off. Wilford took over for the first-team offense and accounted for the Crimson team's equalizing score. On fourth-and-goal at the 15, Wilford rolled to his right and bought time. He then charged for the goal line, cut to his left, and dove in for the touchdown.

The White team, led by Linden, scored a few minutes later as freshman running back Jared Lewis swept wide left and beat the defense for a 20-yard touchdown.

When Wilford was touched down for a sack on fourth down with 38 seconds left, the game was blown over, and the teams headed into the locker room. The seniors, now a little tired (9 a.m. is pretty early to start boozing, after all), picked up their mess and got on the field for one last romp. Their run was over.
