Scalise Comes Full Circle as Harvard Athletic Director

A 23-year old relic of a soccer ball sits alongside the window of Bob Scalise’s Murr Center office. Its markings reveal that it was the game ball for the inaugural women’s soccer Ivy Championship won by Harvard. Initially a gift for athletic director Jack Reardon ’60, who supported the program in its nascent stages, it was inherited by his successor William J. Cleary ’56, and then passed down to Scalise with a twinge of irony.
