Was Kaminski the kicker in 67, too? My first HC football game in Worcester, vs BC...HC lost 13-6 and missed a PAT and 2 chip shot field goals. Fitton was more impressive to a high school kid than the old Alumni Stadium...full or nearly full house. Yes he was. He was a walk-on in 1964 and IIRC got scholarship help starting in '65. |

I think, IIRC, it was actually HC up by 3-0 at the half. The FG by Mike Kaminski was strange. It went through the uprights and then was blown back by the wind. The officials had to confer to se if it was good - only time I have ever seen that happen. HC got the ball to tart the second half. It looked great. Then on the third play, a Syracuse lineman stood up, caught the low pass in two hands and rumbled into the endzone. It was downhill after that as the Orange used their size and numbers to wear HC down. I recall the refs having their conference and then disallowing the field goal much to everyone's consternation And that surprise interception early in the second half was a real downer. After that, the main highlight was watching my then-roommate, substitute lineman, Ray Weaver, sack the Syracuse quarterback. Afterwards, he explained that he'd grabbed him by the pads and pulled him down. Another point about that Syracuse game was that it drew a crowd. When we tried to sit in the usual student section, we were redirected to less-desirable seats closer to the end zone. Our normal seats had gone to the ticket-buying public. I remember it well and the FG was ruled "no good". I think I also remember a play at midfield going with HC going towards the baseball field where Jack Lentz pitched out to a HB named (I think) Lawson. Lawson rolled right and then stopped after about five long strides and looked back down the other side of the field. After pitching out, Lentz went out for a pass down the other sideline near the HC bench and he was WIDE OPEN......I mean there was no Syracuse defender within 20 yards of him. However Lawson just slightly overthrew the pass and it went off Lentz's fingers to a large groan from the crowd, A yard closer to Jack and it would have been one of the finest memories in this Crusader's FB memory. |

I believe it's a Harvard president, perhaps Bok's predecessor, Nathan Pusey.

BTW, I remember seeing HC get pounded back in the old days when we played Syracuse, and others in football and hoops. It was not all wine and roses then either. I was among those calling for some league/conference affiliation because as independents we could have a good season and it seemed to take us nowhere. We also had losses to the Ivies and to schools that were not high level programs by any means. Memory can be a funny thing, especially when one was not there when things happened.  +1 Yes, past history is often selective. I recall that in 1966 holding Syracuse to 0-0 tie at half-time in a game that was eventually lost 28-6 was considered something of a moral victory. That team, which would go on to beat BC 32-26, played a stinker the next week at Buffalo losing 35-3, and played in front of a relatively small crowd while beating UConn a week before the BC game. Yes, Brooks's decision to join the CL predictably resulted in a largely lost era in the history of HC sports, but there's no reason why the damage can't be eventually repaired. I believe the crowd was small for that UConn game because it was played at the same time as the famous 10-10 Notre Dame-Michigan State game which was on television. Such TV rooms as there then were on campus were filled to capacity. I myself watched the game in Carlin. I was able to redeem myself the following week by cheering myself hoarse at Alumni Stadium. |

It was. I remember come back to the Mulledy dorm after the UConn game and catching the end of the "tie-one-for-the-Gipper" affair. (My roommate had a TV, which was primarily used to watch NFL games on Sunday.) |

Maybe the 2 most famous games of the 60's (see last post) were ties (that one and H 29 Y 29). Wonder if either one of them would be remembered as well if the current rules were in effect?
50th anniversary this year of 10-10, right?

Yes, indeed, it is the co-conspirator himself, he who threatened or seduced J.E.Brooks, SJ.

"Come follow me; I and my friends are your friends" Derek Bok Sounds like something "Old Nick" himself might have said. The results seem to show how much that statement (paraphrased) was worth. |

There are two other portraits, dating from his early years as Harvard's President. These hang in the Harvard clubs of Boston and New York. I cannot find an image of these two on the web. |
