CRIMSON VS. THE BULLDOGS 


Semar Joe Viviano Smith ’17 ’18 

UNDER CENTER 

Quarterback play has been a significant 

contributing factor to the 

difference in performance this year 

for Harvard and Yale. Senior Joe Viviano 

has taken the bulk of the snaps 

for the Crimson and enters The Game 

with a 61.6 completion percentage 

(157-of-255). Conversely, Yale’s signal 

callers have struggled to complete 

half of their pass attempts. Sophomore 

Tre Moore has been successful 

on just 48.8 percent of his attempts 

(80-of-164). Freshman Kurt Rawlings 

has the lowest mark at 48.2 (54-of- 

112), while junior Rafe Chapple is the 

lone quarterback over the 50-percent 

plateau at 51.2 (21-of-41). 

SERIES HISTORY 

Among the most historic rivalries in 

collegiate athletics, The Game dates 

back 162 years and today’s meeting 

represents the 133rd game in the 

series. Yale holds a 65-59-8 lead alltime, 

but it has been all Harvard in 

recent memory. The Crimson is riding 

a nine-game win streak against the 

Bulldogs, having defeated its rival, 

35-19, last season at the Yale Bowl. 

Harvard won the last meeting at 

Harvard Stadium in 2014, 31-24, with 

ESPN College GameDay on hand. 

THE PARTICULARS 

One of the most iconic rivalries in collegiate athletics renews today 

in one of the nation’s most iconic stadiums, as Harvard (7-2, 5-1 

Ivy) hosts archrival Yale (2-7, 2-4 Ivy) in the 133rd meeting of The 

Game at Harvard Stadium. Today’s game will be broadcast live on 

CNBC. Harvard carries a nine-game win streak against the Bulldogs 

into the matchup and has a slight 26-25-3 edge in all games played 

at Harvard Stadium. In addition to the importance of The Game 

for the Crimson, today’s clash has Ivy League title implications for 

Harvard, as a victory would ensure at least a share of its fourth-consecutive 

Ivy League championship and the 18th in program history. 

No Harvard team has ever won four Ivy titles in conference history. 

Dartmouth (1969-73) and Penn (1982-86) captured five straight 

crowns. In winning its 18th Ivy championship, Harvard would match 

Dartmouth for the most ever in Ancient Eight history. 

THE MATCHUP 

Today’s contest pits rivals against each other with mirroring records, 

as Harvard is 7-2 and Yale is 2-7. The Crimson are 5-1 in the 

Ivy League, coming off its only conference loss at Penn last Friday, 

while the Bulldogs are 2-4 in conference and have lost three 

of their last four contests. Harvard’s offense is averaging over 94 

yards more per game than its blue and white opponent. The Crimson 

comes into the final game of the season putting up 397.8 yards 

per game, supporting an average of 27.6 points per game. Yale’s offense 

is averaging just a tick over 300 yards at 303.3, while putting 

up just over 20 points on the scoreboard each time out. 

HARVARD COACH TIM MURPHY 

The all-time winningest coach in 

Harvard history with a 163-65 overall 

record, Murphy leads the Crimson 

into The Game with a 7-2 record this 

season. Murphy has won nine Ivy League titles in his 23-year tenure 

and with a victory today would capture the 10th in his storied career 

on the Harvard sideline. 

YALE COACH TONY RENO 

Reno, a former special teams coordinator and defensive backs 

coach for the Crimson from 2009-11, is wrapping up his fifth season 

at the helm of the Bulldogs. Entering the game, Reno is sporting a 

23-26 record with his best season coming in 2014 when he led Yale 

to an 8-2 record. The Bulldogs are yet to win The Game against 

Harvard during his tenure, losing by an average margin of 15.75.

HARVARD YARDAGE 

by Tim Williamson 

Associate Director of Athletics 


Harvard. Yale. The Game 

for the 133rd time. Today, 

the Crimson looks to do 

something no Harvard 

team has done before: 

win a fourth-straight Ivy 

League title. Tim Murphy, 

The Thomas Stephenson 

Family Head Coach for 

Harvard Football, and his 

team heads into the final 

weekend tied with Penn 

and Princeton with identical 

5-1 conference marks. A 

Crimson victory today 

would clinch a share of the 

crown, while a Dartmouth 

win over the Tigers and a 

Cornell victory against the 

Quakers would give Harvard 

the title outright. If Harvard does prevail today, Murphy would 

also tie Carm Cozza of Yale for the most Ivy championships 

with 10. 

Harvard has claimed nine-straight victories against the 

Bulldogs in this historic series, the longest win streak in the 

history of the rivalry. 

On the field today, we will honor former Crimson standout 

Pat McInally ’75, who will be inducted into the College Football 

Hall of Fame next month. 

*** 

One of my favorite sights in college sports plays out once per 

year as the Harvard and Yale captains greet at midfield for the 

coin toss. While this year has been a bit different on the Yale 

sideline with game captains being elected, the model remains the 

same – just a single captain representing each school. Harvard’s 

Sean Ahern and Yale’s Darius Manora, who grace the cover of 

this year’s program standing in front of the John Harvard Statue, 

were selected as this year’s captains by their teammates. 

*** 

Some of our other fall programs enjoyed great success and 

breakout seasons this fall. 

Field hockey ran the table in the Ivy League, going 7-0 and 

reaching the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2004. 

The Crimson faced No. 3 Syracuse in the NCAAs, bowing 5-1. 

Bente van Vlijmen was tabbed Ivy Rookie of the Year, and Tjerk 

Van Herwaarden garnered Ivy League Coach of the Year honors. 

On the pitch, women’s soccer topped Columbia in double 

overtime Nov. 5 to claim the Ancient Eight crown and earn 

the conference’s automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. 

Harvard faced Rutgers Nov. 12, falling 3-0. 

Women’s cross country placed second at the NCAA 

Regionals and earned a trip to the NCAA Championships, held 

in Terre Haute, Indiana today. 

As many of you know, our men’s basketball program had the 

terrific opportunity to travel to China to take on Stanford Nov. 

11. The team visited many local sites during its trip. I encourage 

you to check out the feature videos on the trip on our website, 

GoCrimson.com. 

*** 

Today, we honor Harvard’s great partnership with Team 

IMPACT, a national nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives 

of courageous children and college athletes—through the 

power of team. 

Founded in 2011, Team IMPACT matches children facing lifethreatening 

and chronic illnesses with local college sports 

teams. Children are “drafted” to the team and participate as 

full-fledged members to the best of their ability, attending 

practices, games, banquets, community events and more. 

Team IMPACT has matched more than 1,000 kids to 450 

schools in 46 states across the country—changing lives, and 

positively impacting more than 30,000 college athletes. 

Harvard is proud to host seven Team IMPACT team 

members—the most among all Ivy League schools. Along 

with Dante Chiapetta, who represents the Yale football team 

today, Harvard is proud to honor: Keshawna Andrews (field 

hockey); Julia Howell (women’s basketball); Daniel Grapski 

(football); Brian Manning (men’s lacrosse); Bella Padilla (water 

polo); Grace Quartarone (women’s hockey); and Olivia Steiner 

(men’s hockey). 

To each of our Team IMPACT kids: you are always a member 

of the Harvard Crimson—and our teams are stronger with you. 

To learn more about Team IMPACT, refer a child or team, or 

donate, visit www.goteamimpact.org. #BeTheIMPACT 

*** 

As a fun way to assist with fan engagement, our office has 

continued to incorporate use of specific hashtags for each of 

our football games. Follow along on twitter using #HY2016 for 

today’s game against the Bulldogs. 

We will show tweets using today’s hashtag on the videoboard 

and will be retweeting some of the same messages from our 

official Harvard Athletics account, @HarvardCrimson. 

*** 

Thanks again to my entire staff for another terrific season. I 

owe each and every one of you a ton of credit for stepping up 

when I was on leave and for all of the hard work you guys put 

in every day. 

*** 

The Harvard football team welcomed Daniel Grapski as its Team Impact draftee this season.

THE IVIES todAY 

By J. Bennington Peers III 

I must say, it is a delight indeed to be back inside the Stadium 

with all of you and to know that the besieged and bedraggled 

gentlemen from New Haven, our lads’ favorite foils, 

once again have consented to provide the opposition (such 

as it may be) this day. That issue was far from certain after 

last year’s cannonading at the Bowl during which Yale was 

consigned to what has become perennial blue obscurity as 

dusk was falling. 

Harvard indeed had collared the bulldog most handily and I 

am told that the demise last summer of Handsome Dan XVII, 

our rival’s slobbering symbol, was due to extreme emotional 

starvation, his having never witnessed a Yale victory in The 

Game after nine years of drooling unsated on the sideline. 

Not even during the days of Haughton and Fisher has there 

been such a lopsided stretch of a series that commenced in 

1875, with nine consecutive Crimson triumphs and 14 of the 

most recent 15 encounters. One possible explanation is that 

the rivalry has been cyclical over time. It is recorded that Yale 

prevailed in 14 of the first 17 meetings and also enjoyed prolonged 

successes during subsequent stretches. Harvard’s ongoing 

cycle, however, is approaching that of Halley’s Comet. 

So complete has been our domination that down at the 

Gothic rockpile there was talk of abandoning this august autumnal 

relationship. “I fear that the rivalry has become lamentably 

akin to that between the kennel master and the pup,” 

one Yale dean was heard to observe. “How much longer can 

our varsity be brought to heel?” 

It was suggested that the season be concluded with an encounter 

with the Princeton chaps, as was customary during the 

19th century. Yale then could play trick-or-treat with its Halloween-clad 

foes and perhaps emerge victorious now and then. 

Finally it was determined that it was not so much the 

sequence of Ls on the ledger that had made The Game such 

a hopeless undertaking for Albie Booth’s woebegone successors. 

It was the unbalanced nature of so many of the tallies -- 

37-6, 45-7, 34-7, et cetera. “Our salvation may be found in the 

solution,” proposed one of the college’s instructors in remedial 

arithmetic. “Why not a different method of keeping score?” 

Harvard, which created both the original format as well 

as a scoreboard to display the tally, might well be amenable 

to a 21st-century recalculation which would be decidedly gentler 

for the losing side. Perhaps a nostalgic return to the initial 

engagement at Hamilton Field in which our squad prevailed 

by a count of 4-0. In that day, of course, one needed both to 

score a touchdown and to execute the conversion in order to 

be awarded a single point. 

By modern reckoning the result would have been 28-0, a 

figure that would have been a more accurate indicator of the 

superiority of Captain Whiting’s colleagues. There are, naturally, 

alternate schemes of adding one integer to another and 

I daresay that they would make for a more palatable total for 

Elihu’s progeny. 

There’s the Fibonacci sequence in which each number is the 

sum of the previous two -- for example 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34. 

Thus would a 42-0 Harvard triumph be listed as 20-0, which 

would be more bearable and less burdensome to our canine 

friends. Better still would be the binary system in which 0 and 

1 are used in a dizzying array of combinations. 

I must confess, patient reader, that there were times in decades 

past when I would have preferred that the binary system 

have been adopted on certain Saturdays when our eleven 

found itself on the unfavorable side of an outing with Yale, 

particularly during the Fifties. The solution then, as you may 

recall, was not mathematical but methodical: develop a more 

competitive varsity. 

That undertaking seems to be requiring an excruciatingly 

long time in New Haven, where defenders appear to be habitually 

in short supply and where quarterbacks routinely 

are scrambling for their lives. Given the outcomes of previous 

Saturdays this season the likelihood of a Yale triumph today 

appears to be as remote as ever. Thus the binary solution, 

with our lads stringing together the 1s and the visitors 

the 0s. Messrs. Viviano, Shelton-Mosley, Firkser and Smith will 

romp unchecked and the defense will display its usual grit and 

grudge. Harvard 101010, Yale 01110, is my calculation and a 

share of the Ivy crown shall be a deserved reward. 

Now to other business around the League today that will 

be tallied by more standard accounting procedures. I will acknowledge 

that I had written off the ursine eleven from Providence 

some weeks ago in the wake of a quartet of setbacks 

but Mr. Estes’ charges evidently have rightsided themselves. 

Not that they can take their home date with Columbia for 

granted. Our man Bagnoli, who did creditable work for a couple 

of decades with the incorrigibles at Ben Franklin’s reform 

school, has provided the former pussycats at Morningside 

Heights with a respectable roar, as our own eleven can attest. 

These notably louder Lions may not yet be kings of the 

ivied jungle but they no longer are the leonine laggards who 

were easily tamed. That said, I fear that Bruno yet again will 

be their master, particularly atop the Old Hill, where the New 

Yorkers have not prevailed in a decade. Brown 24, Columbia 

14, I would guess. 

I must confess that I had expected a trifle more wah-hoo-wahing 

out of Hanover this autumn after the first two outings 

but the gibbering rustic has been tripping over his moccasins 

of late. Any fantasies about retaining a share of the league 

trophy long since have vanished and the only remaining motivation 

today will be to twist the Tiger’s tail once again. Dartmouth 

has enjoyed uncommon success in that regard, with 

victories in its last six encounters with the New Jersey felines 

but I sense that another is most unlikely today. This Princeton 

entry has proven to be most formidable, as Pennsylvania 

found to its dismay, and had it not been for our lads’ overtime 

legerdemain likely would have claimed the crown by itself. 

Princeton 28, Dartmouth 17 seems a reasonable result. 

I daresay that after the mauling that Princeton administered 

to Penn I thought that the Quaker oafs might well be 

left by the wayside in the title chase. Alas, that was but a 

daydream. There was a time when I believed that Cornell finally 

might possess the required qualities to administer the 

coup de grace above Cayuga but recent Saturdays have 

indicated otherwise. The Philadelphians rarely have shown 

much brotherly love to the Carnelians, even during those 

many decades when they met on Thanksgiving, and I doubt 

that there’ll be any such fraternal profferings in Ithaca today. 

Penn 35, Cornell 14 and I pray that the league officials award 

Harvard initial possession of the shared trophy before the 

frontier Boeotian renders it unrecognizable.

featured PLAYEr Sean Ahern 

By Scott Sudikoff 


From being a four-yearold 

wearing a Jerry Rice 

jersey to being the 143rd 

captain in Harvard history, 

Sean Ahern has had a 

long-standing love affair 

with the game of football. 

Ahern’s father, who played 

at Brown, was his earliest 

influence in the game. 

“My first memories of 

football were with my 

dad,” explained Ahern. “I’d 

throw on the Jerry Rice 

jersey and dive on the 

couch trying to catch as 

many balls as I could.” 

“The thrill of catching 

the ball and trying to beat 

my record was how I got 

started,” Ahern added. 

From there he was off 

to the races, beginning to 

play organized football in the third grade. 

“I loved the competition aspect of it,” according to Ahern. 

“Playing with your friends and having friendships turn into 

brotherhoods. It’s hours and hours of work and there’s really 

no point in doing it if you don’t love it.” 

A watershed moment for Ahern in his early football career 

came as a freshman at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, 

Ohio. At that point he was also a talented golfer as well, and 

with both golf and football being fall season sports, he needed 

to make a decision. 

“As a freshman, I was maybe 5-foot-6, 110 pounds,” said 

Ahern. “I was tiny, but I was always tough so I decided to stick 

with football.” 

In one of his first practices Ahern earned the moniker of 

“The Animal” from one of his defensive backs coach, Nick Lyle, 

after getting the best of a much larger opponent. Lyle, also 

a product of St. Xavier, came back to coach after a college 

career at Vanderbilt University. 

“He made it a blast for me to play,” Ahern explained. “Size 

didn’t really matter to him and he gave me the confidence to 

play at a small size.” 

Since St. Xavier had a large football roster pool, players 

had the ability to focus on one position and were not forced 

into multiple spots. This allowed Ahern to specifically play 

cornerback, a position he still plays today. 

“One of the main things that goes into playing corner is 

that it’s one of the easiest positions to learn, but one of the 

toughest to play,” said Ahern. “In my ninth year of playing 

cornerback, it has become instinctive for me.” 

The possibility of playing football in college came about for 

Ahern during his junior season in high school, where he landed 

his first starting role on the varsity team. 

“St. Xavier has a pretty reputable program which definitely 

helped me in getting interest from schools,” explained Ahern. 

“If I can get into an Ivy League school then why wouldn’t I 

pursue this?” 

Another boost for Ahern and his future career at Harvard 

was the rigorous academic curriculum at St. Xavier. 

“It was the same type of environment [as Harvard], trying 

to balance athletics and academics,” said Ahern. “It was never 

really a concern for me whether or not I could manage both

football and academics.” 

Ahern almost found his way to another Ivy League school 

before coming to Harvard. He had originally committed to 

Cornell, but after the coach that recruited him left Ithaca for 

another job, Ahern re-evaluated his situation. 

The continuity with Harvard, and specifically the Thomas 

Stephenson Family Head Coach Tim Murphy, is what ultimately 

led Ahern to Cambridge. 

“Sean is the total package as a student-athlete,” said Murphy. 

“Tough, smart, skilled and a proven leader. Our belief is that 

Sean will be the top corner in the Ivy League.” 

During his time on campus, Ahern has earned the trust and 

admiration of his teammates, which led him to being elected 

as the 143rd captain in team history. 

“I was amazed and honored by my teammates for trusting 

me in the next step of this program,” said Ahern. “I thought 

about all the guys who had been captains before me and it lit 

a fire in my belly.” 

“It’s a tremendous honor being in the same category as guys 

like Matt Koran ‘16 and Norman Hayes ‘15, two of my best friends.” 

When you talk to Ahern’s current teammates, you get 

glowing recommendations. 

“Ahern is a great kid,” said senior offensive lineman Max Rich. 

“The most experienced on the team, a two-time All-Ivy League 

guy who is just a fantastic player and knows everything that 

is going on.” 

Senior defensive lineman James Duberg has similar feelings. 

“There’s a couple of reasons why he’s captain,” said Duberg. 

“His intensity with every football event, the leaderships 

skills he possesses and the way guys rally around him. He 

leads by example.” 

As the 2016 senior class comes to the end of their Harvard 

careers, they have one last chance to take the field in The 

Game against Yale. A rivalry that many players didn’t realize 

the importance of until they saw it first hand as freshmen. 

“I honestly had no idea about the scope of Harvard-Yale,” 

Ahern explained. “You start to figure it out when you see all 

the alums coming back and showing their pride.” 

What makes this game stand out from the rest? 

“Every play you’re trying to bring it as hard as you can, more 

than any game on the entire schedule,” said Ahern. “You know 

the [Yale] guy across from you is doing the same. I don’t want 

them to catch a single ball all game.” 

Recently for Harvard there has been the added importance 

of a championship being on the line against Yale, which only 

increases the excitement and passion. 

“There’s nothing to leave out on the field at all, especially 

for the seniors,” added Ahern. “We see guys do things they 

haven’t done all year. The effort given is second to none.” 

Being an athlete at an Ivy League school is more than just 

a four-year commitment, it’s a legacy that can last forever, 

and for Ahern he has a specific way he would like to be 

remembered. 

“I want to be remembered how I remember Norman [Hayes] 

and Matt [Koran],” said Ahern. “Intense, fun guys that were a 

pleasure to be around every day.”

senior stories Eric Ryan 


Eric has been a great role model for our younger 

players through his leadership by example in general, 

and specifically his work ethic and resiliency. 

– Tim Murphy, 

The Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football 

Q: What is your concentration? 

Sociology 

Q: What do you hope to do in 

life once football is finished? 

Once football is finished, I 

hope to end up in a career 

where I wake up excited to 

go to work and contribute to 

something meaningful. Also, 

if I’m lucky, I want to be able 

to travel and visit parts of the 

world I haven’t seen. 

Q: What is your first memory of football? 

My first memory of football goes back to watching games 

on TV with my grandfather as a kid, and eventually joining 

the team as a 5th grader. The amount of extra laps and updowns 

we did in those days was a feat of human strength and 

perseverance. 

Q: What’s your favorite Harvard team to watch as a fan? 

For me, hockey games have been the coolest events to watch 

because the atmosphere in the rink is so different from what 

you see at most other sports. It’s fun to go wild with your 

friends after crazy hits and goals, so the games can get very 

rowdy. 

Q: What are the hardest parts of being a student-athlete at 

Harvard? 

The hardest part of being a student-athlete at Harvard is 

finding the right balance of academics and athletics. When 

you first become a student-athlete here the days can definitely 

seem overwhelming, but through experience you learn that if 

you’re disciplined with your time you can be successful in both 

aspects of life on campus. 

Q: What’s the best part about a home football day? 

The best part of a home football day is the extra time we get 

to hang out in the locker room before the game, which gives 

you a good opportunity to throw some music on, relax, and 

really focus on what you are about to do on the field. 

Q: Who do you like lining up against in practice? 

Semar Smith. He has earned a reputation as a hard-hitting 

running back, so when you see him lined up in the backfield 

you have to be dialed in and on top of your game. We put in 

a lot of work together during the summer offseason and now 

during the fall I cherish every rep I get against him. 

Q: Who has the best nickname on the team and why? 

The best nickname on the team belongs to Coach Flaherty, 

aka Big Daddy. 

Q: How has playing football at Harvard better prepared you 

for life? 

Playing football at Harvard has taught me how important your 

attitude is towards overcoming tough situations. You can’t 

always predict or control what kind of adversity might come 

your way, but you can decide what kind of attitude you will 

approach those challenges with. 

Q: When you leave Harvard, what do you want your legacy 

to be? 

After I graduate, I want to be remembered as someone who 

gave his all to the program and as a teammate who would do 

anything for one of his brothers. 

Q: If you weren’t playing football, you would be… 

Cooling off on a beach in Southern California. My teammate 

Dallas Schray and I spent a week out in the SoCal area this 

past summer and I really connected with California’s laid-back 

vibe and perfect weather. I could easily see myself moving out 

there once school is finished. 

Q: What is your favorite memory on the football field? 

I have many significant memories of playing on the football 

field, from scoring my first touchdown for the Newington 

Knights in middle school to beating high school rival 

Wethersfield on the Thanksgiving day games. My favorite 

memories during my time here have been being a part of the 

nail-biter against Dartmouth last year and playing in the unreal 

atmosphere of the Harvard-Yale game. 

Q: Where are your favorite places to eat in the square? 

I was definitely a big Chipotle supporter during my first three 

years here, but after trying out the nachos at Felipe’s Taqueria 

this preseason I never looked back. Luke Hutton was the first 

to recommend them to me, so I owe him a lot for introducing 

me to the best meal in the square. 

Q: If you could do anything for a day without any cost considerations, 

what would it be? 

Take the whole team to a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium to 

watch the GOAT. 

Q: If you could have dinner with three people, dead or alive, 

who would they be? 

Tom Brady, Will Ferrell, John F. Kennedy. 

Q: Best football movie of all-time? Why? 

Without a doubt, the best football movie of all-time is 

Remember the Titans, starring Denzel Washington and Will 

Patton. This classic movie perfectly demonstrates the ways in 

which football is much more than just a game. 

Q: If you could be anyone for a day, who would it be and why? 

Conor McGregor, because I love his rags to riches story and 

the intensity he brings to his sport.

Drew Gilpin Faust 

Robert L. Scalise 

President The John D. Nichols ’53 

Family Director of Athletics 

Drew Gilpin Faust is the 28th 

president of Harvard University and 

the Lincoln Professor of History in 

Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. 

As president of Harvard, Faust has 

expanded financial aid to improve 

access to Harvard College for students of all economic backgrounds 

and advocated for increased federal funding for scientific research. 

She has broadened the University’s international reach, raised the 

profile of the arts on campus, embraced sustainability, launched 

edX, the online learning partnership with MIT, and promoted 

collaboration across academic disciplines and administrative 

units as she guided the University through a period of significant 

financial challenges. 

A historian of the Civil War and the American South, Faust 

was the founding dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced 

Study at Harvard, guiding its transformation from a college into 

a wide-ranging institute for scholarly and creative enterprise, 

distinctive for its multidisciplinary focus and the exploration of 

new knowledge at the crossroads of traditional fields. 

Previously, Faust served as the Annenberg Professor of History 

at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was a member of the 

faculty for 25 years. 

Raised in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Faust went on to attend 

Concord Academy in Massachusetts. She received her bachelor’s 

degree from Bryn Mawr College in 1968, magna cum laude with 

honors in history, and her master’s degree (1971) and doctoral 

degree (1975) in American civilization from the University of 

Pennsylvania. 

She is the author of six books, including “Mothers of Invention: 

Women of the Slaveholding South in the American Civil War” 

(University of North Carolina Press, 1996), for which she won 

the Francis Parkman Prize in 1997. Her most recent book, “This 

Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War” (Alfred 

A. Knopf, 2008), looks at the impact of the Civil War’s enormous 

death toll on the lives of 19th-century Americans. It won the 

Bancroft Prize in 2009, was a finalist for both a National Book 

Award and a Pulitzer Prize, and was named by The New York 

Times one of the “10 Best Books of 2008.” “This Republic of 

Suffering” is the basis for a 2012 Emmy-nominated episode of the 

PBS American Experience documentaries titled “Death and the 

Civil War,” directed by Ric Burns. 

Faust has been a trustee of Bryn Mawr College, the Andrew 

Mellon Foundation, and the National Humanities Center, and she 

serves on the educational advisory board of the Guggenheim 

Foundation. She has served as president of the Southern 

Historical Association, vice president of the American Historical 

Association, and executive board member of the Organization 

of American Historians and the Society of American Historians. 

Faust has also served on numerous editorial boards and selection 

committees, including the Pulitzer Prize history jury in 1986, 

1990, and 2004. 

Her honors include awards in 1982 and 1996 for distinguished 

teaching at the University of Pennsylvania. She was elected to the 

Society of American Historians in 1993, the American Academy 

of Arts and Sciences in 1994, and the American Philosophical 

Society in 2004. 

Faust is married to Charles Rosenberg, one of the nation’s 

leading historians of medicine and science, who is the Ernest E. 

Monrad Research Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard. 

Faust and Rosenberg have two daughters, Jessica Rosenberg, a 

2004 summa cum laude graduate of Harvard College, and Leah 

Rosenberg, Faust’s stepdaughter, a scholar of Caribbean literature. 

Robert L. Scalise, Harvard’s John D. 

Nichols ’53 Family Director of Athletics, 

has overseen an era of tremendous success 

for the nation’s largest Division I athletics 

program. The seventh person to hold the 

position, Scalise leads an organization 

made up of 42 varsity sports, a myriad of 

club and intramural programs, more than 1,200 intercollegiate athletes and 

a broad array of wellness and recreation programs and facilities. 

In 15 years as director of athletics, Scalise has seen Harvard win 18 national 

team championships and 117 Ivy League titles, including a school-record 14 

conference crowns in both the 2004-05 and 2013-14 seasons. In addition, 

the 43 Ivy League crowns won by the Class of 2015 set a new Harvard 

record for most conference titles by a graduating class. While Harvard puts 

special emphasis on Ivy League championships, the department has had 

considerable success on a national level under Scalise by winning team and/ 

or individual national championships in eight of the last 10 seasons. 

Under Scalise, Harvard has played host to several high-level NCAA 

tournaments including the 2006 women’s basketball Final Four at the 

TD Bank Garden as well as the 2008, 2009 and 2012 men’s lacrosse 

championships at Gillette Stadium and the 2010 fencing championships 

at Gordon Indoor Track. In 2013, Harvard again played host to the NCAA 

women’s water polo championships at Blodgett Pool. The Crimson has 

also welcomed the top college squash teams in the country on numerous 

occasions, hosting the 2008 and 2014 men’s College Squash Association 

championships and the 2009 and 2012 women’s CSA championships. 

Born in New York City and a 1967 graduate of Uniondale (N.Y.) High 

School, Scalise has extensive ties to Ivy League athletics. A 1971 Brown 

alumnus, Scalise was selected three times to the All-Ivy League lacrosse 

team and twice named All-America and All-New England. He led the 

nation in scoring (47 goals) as a junior, then co-captained the squad in 

1971 when he set an NCAA record by scoring 11 times against Connecticut 

while helping the Bears advance to the inaugural NCAA men’s lacrosse 

tournament. As a senior, Scalise was named the recipient of the Brown 

University Sportsmanship Award and the Sports Illustrated Award of Merit. 

Scalise entered the coaching ranks at Brown in the fall of 1971 as an 

assistant for the men’s soccer and lacrosse teams. He was just 24 years old 

when he was named head coach of Harvard’s men’s lacrosse team in 1974. 

He led the Crimson to the 1980 Ivy League championship, the program’s 

first league title in nearly two decades, and an accompanying NCAA 

tournament bid. He coached 25 All-America selections and completed his 

tenure in 1987 with a 98-79 overall record. 

Scalise was also the first coach of Harvard’s women’s soccer program, 

which began varsity play in 1977. He led that team to Ivy League crowns in 

1978, 1979 and 1981, and NCAA tournament berths in 1982 and 1984. In 1985, 

Scalise became the nation’s first women’s collegiate soccer coach to amass 

100 victories. He finished with a 113-38-11 overall record. 

Scalise was inducted into the Brown Hall of Fame in 1991 and was the 

recipient of the 2015 United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association 

(USILA) Howdy Myers Man of the Year Award. 

Scalise left coaching in 1987 to enroll in the Harvard Business School, where 

in 1989 he was awarded a Master in Business Administration. Later that year, 

he became director of MBA placement services, managing processes and 

products serving the Business School community. He held that post until 

1992, when he accepted a position at Bain & Company to become director 

of recruiting, career development and alumni relations. While there, he 

developed strategic and operational initiatives to build people assets for the 

firm and prepared and managed an operating budget of approximately $4 

million. Scalise returned to Harvard Business School in 1995 as its executive 

director of MBA program administration before assuming the role of Senior 

Executive Officer where he oversaw an annual operating budget of $200 

million and remained until being named director of athletics in July 2001. 

A leader in intercollegiate athletics, Scalise serves as a member of the 

inaugural NCAA Division I Council. He is the chair of the NCAA Student- 

Athlete Experience Committee and works as a member of the NCAA 

lacrosse rules committee. 

Scalise is married to Maura Costin Scalise ’80, an All-Ivy swimmer at 

Harvard who coached the Crimson women’s swimming and diving team 

from 1985-98 and achieved Ivy League and national prominence during her 

tenure. In addition, four of Scalise’s children have been varsity athletes 

at Harvard—competing on the lacrosse and polo teams—including his 

daughter, Rosemary ’19, a current member of the women’s lacrosse team.

Tim Murphy 

The Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach 

for Harvard Football 


By any measure, Tim Murphy has led 

Harvard’s storied football program to 

its most prosperous era since the early 

20th century. He looks to continue that 

trend in 2016, as he enters his 23rd season 

as the Thomas Stephenson Family 

Head Coach for Harvard Football. 

One of the game’s finest teachers and 

motivators over the last quarter-century, 

Murphy is Harvard’s all-time winningest 

coach, and since the formation 

of the Ivy League in 1956, only one Ivy 

coach has compiled more wins than his 

156. His Harvard teams have captured nine Ivy League championships 

(1997, 2001, ’04, ’07, ’08, ’11, ‘13, ‘14, ‘15) and have combined to own the 

NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision’s best record over 

the last 15 seasons (123-26, .826). 

Murphy is the first Harvard coach since the iconic Percy Haughton 

to lead the Crimson to three unbeaten, untied seasons in his tenure 

(2001, ‘04, ‘14). Having previously coached five seasons at Cincinnati 

and two at Maine, Murphy owns career records of 188-108-1 overall, 

156-63 with the Crimson and 17-5 in The Game, the annual rivalry tilt 

between Harvard and Yale. 

A six-time selection as New England Coach of the Year (1988, ’97, 

2001, ’04, ’11,’ 14), Murphy was the American Football Monthly Division 

I-AA National Coach of the Year in 2004 and was also honored as a 

finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award for the top FCS coach nationally 

in 2001, ’04 and ’11. He was the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston 

Head Coach of the Year in 2001 and ’11 and has also been recognized 

as the American Football Coaches Association District I Coach of the 

Year (2001) and the Scotty Whitelaw ECAC Division I-AA Coach of the 

Year (1997). Murphy was also named the inaugural recipient of the Ivy 

League Coach of the Year Award in 2014. 

Under Murphy, Harvard has claimed Ivy titles in six of the last nine and 

eight of the last 15 seasons. In those 15 seasons, starting with 2001, the 

Crimson has posted the second-highest winning percentage in all of 

NCAA Division I, trailing only Boise State. Harvard has logged at least 

seven wins in each of those 15 years, an Ivy League record. No other Ivy 

team has strung together seven such seasons in a row. 

Every four-year player Murphy has recruited to Harvard has been a 

part of at least one Ivy League-championship team. Murphy is just the 

fourth head coach to man the Harvard sideline since 1950. 

Since 1994, Harvard has had 111 first-team All-Ivy League selections, 

six Ivy Rookies of the Year, 10 Ivy Players of the Year, nine first-team 

All-Americans and 25 players who have been drafted or signed professional 

contracts, including six-time Pro Bowl center Matt Birk ’98 and 

starting NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick ’05. 

In addition, 20 of Murphy’s Harvard players have received national 

academic recognition (either CoSIDA Academic All-America or the 

FCS All-Academic Team). Before sending two players to the CoSIDA 

Academic All-American team in 2008, Harvard had a national-best six 

players recognized on the All-District 1 team. 

The Crimson has had 10 or more All-Ivy honorees in each of the last 

17 seasons, with program highs of 11 first-team picks and 20 total mentions 

in 2007 and 2015. 

Murphy led the Crimson to its third-straight Ivy League crown in 

2015, a first in program history. With a 9-1 overall record and a 6-1 

mark in league play, the Crimson ended its campaign with a crucial 

38-19 victory over Yale in The Game to extended the winning streak 

over the its rival to a program-record nine straight games. Harvard 

matched the school record with 20 All-Ivy honorees, including nine 

first team selections and Justice Shelton-Mosley was named the Ivy 

League Rookie of the Year. Scott Hosch took home the Asa S. Bushnell 

Cup as the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, the sixth-straight 

Crimson student-athlete to win the award. In addition, the team was 

tabbed one of the recipients of the ECAC FCS Lambert Meadowlands 

Award, given to the top football team in the Eastern region of the 

Football Championship Subdivision 

Harvard completed its 17th unbeaten, untied campaign in 2014, 

going 10-0 overall and 7-0 in league play to earn the program’s 16th 

Ivy crown. Harvard was the lone undefeated team in Division I for the 

2014 season. The Crimson capped the perfect season, its third under 

Murphy, with a 31-24 victory over Yale in The Game, extending the 

win streak over its archrival to a program-record eight straight games. 

Harvard also hosted ESPN’s College GameDay on the day of the Yale 

game, becoming the second Ivy League school (Penn in 2002) to host 

the premiere college football television show. 

In 2013, Harvard went 5-0 on the road en route to a share of the Ivy 

League title, going 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the conference. The Crimson 

topped Yale, 34-7, defeating the Bulldogs for the 12th time in the last 

13 games. 

Murphy’s sixth Ivy title came in 2011, when Harvard clinched the outright 

Ancient Eight crown before the last week of the season for the 

first time in school history. A 45-7 win at Yale capped a perfect Ivy 

season and a 9-1 overall campaign. All nine victories came by double 

digits. The 35-21 victory at Columbia was Murphy’s 118th at Harvard, 

breaking Joe Restic’s program record. 

Murphy and Restic have rewritten Harvard’s storied football records, 

and the two coaches remained close until Restic’s passing in 

December 2011. In the spring of 2008, Murphy joined Restic as Harvard 

coaches to be honored with the National Football Foundation Eastern 

Chapter’s Ron Burton Distinguished America Award, given to a former 

football player who has carried the lessons learned on the field to his 

larger community. 

The 2008 Ivy-champion Crimson finished the year ranked 14th in 

the FCS Coaches Poll. In a game that will go down in history as one 

of equal importance and dominance, the 2007 championship season 

was capped by a 37-6 victory at Yale against a previously undefeated 

Bulldog team that was highly ranked in both total offense and defense. 

The 2001 Harvard squad posted the school’s first undefeated, untied 

campaign since 1913, while the 2004 team went a step further by 

going 10-0 to mark the first perfect season with at least 10 wins since 

1901. The Crimson posted a 7-0 Ivy record in 2007 and a year later 

went 9-1 overall while sharing the Ivy crown with Brown. Murphy’s 1997 

Crimson also went 9-1, 7-0 in the Ancient Eight, and won the Ivy title, 

Harvard’s first in 10 years. 

The 2012 AFCA president and a past president of the Division I-AA 

Coaches Association, Murphy has presented at several high-profile 

events, including coaching clinics at Notre Dame and Southern California. 

In 2010, he was part of a small envoy of college head coaches to 

visit American servicemen and servicewomen overseas as part of the 

USO/Morale Entertainment Coaches Tour. Murphy went on a weeklong 

trip that included stops at McConnell and Scott Air Force bases before 

going overseas for visits to eight countries in nine days with visits to 

bases and vessels.

Murphy is Harvard’s first endowed coach. In October 1994, Thomas 

F. Stephenson ’64 M.B.A. ’66 established a $2 million endowment fund 

that supports the head football coach in much the same way that an 

endowed chair supports a professor. Stephenson chose to name the 

fund for members of his family, who have been active participants in 

the Harvard community for four generations. 

The 2004 season stands as arguably the Crimson’s finest in more 

than 100 years. The Crimson went 10-0 on the year and had an average 

margin of victory of 20.5 points. Harvard scored at least 31 points 

in nine of the 10 games, had a double-digit winning margin in eight 

games, held its last six opponents to 14 points or less, dealt two shutouts 

and allowed just one touchdown in the last three games. 

Harvard finished the year as the only undefeated school in the FCS 

and one of just five unbeatens in all of college football. The Crimson 

finished the season ranked No. 13 in the final Sports Network Division 

I-AA national poll and the ESPN/USA Today poll, marking Harvard’s 

highest finish in the national rankings since the formation of the Division 

I-AA polls. Harvard’s final Sagarin Rating stood 37th among the 

239 Division I football schools. 

The 2004 Crimson had 15 players, then the most in school history, 

named All-Ivy League. Among those were Fitzpatrick, who earned selection 

to play in the East-West Shrine Game and the Hula Bowl, and 

Clifton Dawson ’07, who went on to become the Ivy League’s all-time 

leading rusher in 2006. 

Murphy’s 2001 Harvard squad finished 9-0 overall and 7-0 in the 

Ivies, and was ranked No. 19 in the final Sports Network poll. Harvard 

committed just nine turnovers, averaged 445.0 yards in offense and 

scored at least four touchdowns in every game. 

Previously, Murphy led Harvard to the 1997 Ivy championship, when 

his squad finished 9-1 overall and 7-0 in league play. It marked the first 

time in school history that the Crimson had posted a perfect Ivy record. 

Murphy was named head football coach at Harvard Dec. 6, 1993. He 

came from the University of Cincinnati, where that fall he had directed 

the Division I-A Bearcats to their finest record in 17 years. Murphy’s first 

head coaching position was at the University of Maine, where, in 1987, 

he led the Black Bears to their first NCAA Division I-AA playoff berth. 

At Cincinnati, Murphy led the Bearcats to an 8-3 record in 1993, their 

first winning campaign since 1982 and the school’s best overall mark 

since 1976 (9-2). Cincinnati was the fourth-most improved team in Division 

I-A (an increase of five wins over 1992). 

This success came after Murphy inherited a program that had a condemned 

stadium, no practice facilities and the loss of 19 scholarships 

after being placed on probation for infractions incurred by the previous 

coaching staff. He attained all of his short-term goals, including 

NCAA compliance, an improved graduation rate, reconstructing the 

strength and conditioning program and development of a successful 

major college team. When Murphy took over at Cincinnati in 1989, he 

was only 32 years old and was the youngest Division I head coach in 

the nation (along with Dave Rader at Tulsa). 

While improvement was consistent throughout his tenure, it all came 

together in 1993. In that summer, Cincinnati was recognized by the College 

Football Association for being one of only 20 Division I schools to 

graduate a minimum of 70 percent of its most recent recruiting class. 

On the field, the Bearcats had their third-highest point total in school 

The 2016 Harvard Football Coaching Staff 

Back row (L-R): Mike Donovan, Jeremy Bandy, Chris Batti, Brendan Flaherty, Logan Johnson, Mike Morris, James Frazier 

Front row: Michael Horan, Scott Larkee, Tim Murphy, Joel Lamb, Ryan Crawford, Joe Villapiano 

history (302), and set school marks for most offensive plays, most first 

downs and fewest turnovers. In addition, Cincinnati won that year’s 

Independent Football Alliance championship. 

Murphy started his head coaching career at Maine, in 1987 and ’88, 

when he became the youngest head coach in the country (at age 30) 

upon succeeding current Dartmouth head coach Buddy Teevens. His 

first team finished with an 8-4 record (the Black Bears’ best record 

in 23 years), shared the Yankee Conference title and advanced to the 

NCAA Division I-AA tournament for the first time in school history. 

Murphy also has extensive experience as an assistant coach. He was 

the offensive coordinator at Maine in 1985 and ’86, when the Black 

Bears both rushed and passed for more than 2,000 yards in the same 

season for the first time in school history. He was the offensive line 

coach at Boston University for three seasons, from 1982 through ’84, 

and helped the Terriers to Yankee Conference titles and NCAA Division 

I-AA playoff berths each year. Murphy was also the defensive line 

coach at Lafayette in 1981, when the Leopards posted their best record 

in school history (9-2), just one season after the squad went 1-10. 

Murphy began his coaching career as a part-time assistant at Brown 

in 1979 and was promoted to assistant varsity offensive line coach the 

following season. A native of Kingston, Mass., he graduated from Silver 

Lake High School in 1974. He then attended Springfield College, 

where he became a four-year starter and was a small college All-New 

England linebacker as a senior. 

He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1978 and earned 

a master’s degree in education from Springfield the following year. 

Murphy did additional postgraduate work at Boston University and 

was accepted to the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Business at 

Northwestern and the Colgate Darden School of Business at Virginia. 

Murphy was chosen to sit on the board of trustees of the American 

Football Coaches Association in January 2005 and was named 

to Springfield’s All-Decade Team in 2006. In October 2007, the night 

following Harvard’s 27-10 victory over Princeton, Murphy was inducted 

into the Springfield College Athletic Hall of Fame. During 2013, Murphy 

served as President of the American Football Coaches Assocation, 

and in 2015, he joined Harvard’s Faculty Committee on Athletic Sports. 

Murphy resides in Allston with his wife, Martha Kennedy Murphy. The 

couple has three children: Molly Kennedy ‘14, Conor Timothy ‘16 and 

Grace Katharine ‘18.

assistant coaches 


JOEL LAMB 

Assistant Head Coach 

Quarterbacks/Offensive Coordinator 

Former Crimson quarterback Joel Lamb 

is in his 11th season as offensive coordinator 

and quarterbacks coach in 2016. 

Lamb oversees the Crimson’s recruiting efforts 

in Massachusetts and the Midwestern 

states, including Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, 

Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. 

En route to its 17th Ivy League championship in 2015, the Crimson offense 

finished first in the Ivy League with 36.4 points per game and 474.2 

yards of total offense. Lamb guided seven players to All-Ivy first team selections, 

including senior quarterback Scott Hosch, who was the Ancient 

Eight Offensive Player of the Year. Hosch was also named the New England 

Player of the Year after averaging 303.5 passing yards a game and setting 

the Harvard single-season passing record by tossing for 2,827 yards. 

Despite missing several key players to lengthy injuries in 2014, the 

Crimson averaged 32.7 points per game en route to a perfect 10-0 season 

and its 16th Ivy League championship. Three offensive players were 

tabbed to the All-Ivy first team, as Harvard ranked 19th in the country 

in total offense (461.4). The Crimson had the definition of a balanced 

offense, averaging 230.9 yards per game through the air and 230.5 yards 

per contest on the ground. 

In 2013, Lamb’s Harvard offense contributed to the Crimson’s 15th Ivy 

League title by racking up the nation’s 32nd-best total offense of 426.1 

yards per game with 260.1 in the air and 166.0 on the ground. Harvard’s 

371 points, good for 18th in the nation, landed second in program history 

behind 2012’s total of 394. The 39.4 points per game in 2012, which 

ranked fourth nationally, came from the second-highest scoring offense 

in the nation as the Crimson piled up 487.5 yards per game with a passing 

efficiency rating of 157.25. Those numbers came a year after the Crimson 

ranked 11th in scoring offense in 2011. 

A 1993 Harvard graduate, Lamb returned to Cambridge in 2006. Harvard 

has ranked among the nation’s top 25 in either rushing or passing in 

eight of the last nine seasons. 

Lamb was named the Assistant Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club 

of Greater Boston in 2008. His seasons have seen seven Harvard quarterbacks 

earn All-Ivy League honors, including Ivy League offensive players 

of the year Colton Chapple ’13 in 2012, Chris Pizzotti ’08-09 in 2008 and 

Scott Hosch ‘16 in 2015. 

Lamb returned to Harvard following nine years as the quarterbacks coach 

at Yale. He was the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator for three seasons, during 

which time Yale twice led the Ivy League in passing offense. His 2003 unit 

led the Ivies in passing offense, scoring offense and total offense. 

Lamb helped Yale to the 1999 Ivy League championship, which was 

the Bulldogs’ first league title in 10 years. He coached three of the four 

most prolific quarterbacks in Yale history: all-time passing leader Alvin 

Cowan, runner-up Joe Walland and Peter Lee, who ranks fourth in school 

history. Lamb’s 2005 quarterback, Jeff Mroz, finished second on Yale’s 

single-season passing chart and tied Cowan’s school record with 22 

touchdown passes before signing with the Dallas Cowboys. 

Before joining the staff at Yale, Lamb was the quarterbacks coach at 

Amherst College for four years. 

Lamb was a four-year member of Harvard’s football program as an 

undergraduate and was the 1992 winner of the team’s Henry N. Lamar 

Award, which recognizes dedication to the program, concern for his fellow 

man and contributions to Harvard football. 

He went on to play competitively in England in 1994 with the Leeds 

Cougars of the British American Football Association. 

A native of Natick, Mass., Lamb was a three-sport captain at Natick 

High School and was an all-state quarterback. He also was a standout 

in baseball and basketball. Lamb graduated from Harvard in 1993 after 

concentrating in psychology. He holds a master’s degree in sports management 

from the University of Massachusetts. 

Lamb’s father, Tom, was the longtime athletic director and football 

coach at Natick High School, while Joel’s wife, Ainslee, served as the 

head field hockey coach at Boston College from 2005-14. They have a 

daughter, Brooklyn. 

SCOTT LARKEE 

Assistant Head Coach 

Linebackers/Defensive Coordinator 

Former All-Ivy League linebacker Scott Larkee, 

the Gridiron Club of Boston’s 2012 Assistant 

Coach of the Year, is in his eighth season 

as defensive coordinator at Harvard and his 

10th total season across two stints as an assistant 

coach at his alma mater in 2016. 

Larkee led a defense that held its opponents to an average of 13.0 

points per game during the 2015 season. The Crimson ranked second in 

the Ancient Eight in scoring defense and first in rushing yards allowed 

(84.4). The senior linebacking corps of Eric Medes, captain Matt Koran 

and Jacob Lindsey were all selected to All-Ivy teams after combining for 

191 tackles, including 17.5 for a loss. 

Harvard’s defense remained one of the preeminent units in the country in 

2014. The Crimson ranked first in scoring defense (12.3 points allowed per 

game) and fourth in rushing defense (86.3 yards per game). Zack Hodges 

was named the recipient of the Asa S. Bushnell Cup as Ivy League Co-Defensive 

Player of the Year, as the Crimson completed a perfect 10-0 season en 

route to the program’s 16th Ivy championship. Harvard held its first eight opponents 

under 18 points and blanked Columbia for the third-consecutive year. 

In 2013, Larkee’s defense helped the Crimson to its 15th Ivy League 

crown. Harvard’s rushing defense, which allowed 97.3 yards per game, 

ranked sixth in the nation and atop the Ivy League while its scoring defense 

(22.7 points per game) came in at 25th. Behind the 2013 Asa S. 

Bushnell Cup recipient, Zack Hodges, the Crimson recovered 13 fumbles 

to tie for 15th nationally and lead the Ancient Eight. 

Larkee led one of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision’s 

top defenses in 2012. The Crimson led the nation in rushing defense 

(69.4 yards allowed per game) and sacks (4.2 per game) while ranking 

eighth nationally in scoring defense (17.4 points allowed per game). Harvard 

held six of its 10 opponents to 14 points or fewer, and three of those opponents—including 

shutout victim Columbia—scored seven points or fewer. 

A year earlier, Larkee’s defense ranked fifth nationally in scoring defense 

and sixth against the rush, behind Ivy League Defensive Player of 

the Year Josue Ortiz. 

A 1999 Harvard graduate, Larkee is in the 10th season of his current 

tour of duty with the Crimson. He returned to his alma mater in 2007, 

coaching the running backs while serving as the program’s recruiting 

coordinator. In 2008, he assumed the team’s special teams coordinator 

position and also worked with the linebackers. In 2009, Larkee took over 

as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. 

Larkee is responsible for recruiting the northeastern United States including 

New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 

Since Larkee began working with Harvard’s linebackers in 2008, Crimson 

players at that position have accounted for 17 All-Ivy League selections. 

Larkee previously served as an assistant coach for the Crimson’s 2001 

Ivy League championship team. He coached the outside linebackers for 

Harvard’s 9-0 squad, its first since 1913 to go unbeaten and untied. 

Before returning to Cambridge, Larkee had been a graduate assistant 

at Boston College, helping the Eagles to back-to-back bowl appearances. 

Larkee had a brief stint as a defensive assistant at Columbia, which came 

on the heels of a three-year tenure as an assistant at Division III Bates 

College. He served as the Bobcats’ special teams coordinator, linebackers 

coach and strength and conditioning coordinator from 2002 to ’04. 

Larkee also has served as an assistant at Bowdoin College for the 1999 

and 2000 seasons and was a player/coach with Les Cougars de St. Ouen 

l’Aumone (a French club team) in 2001. 

A second-team All-Ivy League selection as a senior, Larkee graduated 

from Harvard in third place on the Crimson’s career tackles chart (243). 

He recorded 98 tackles with six pass breakups and was a starter on 

Harvard’s 1997 Ivy League championship team. Larkee also earned the 

team’s Henry N. Lamar Award, given to the Harvard football senior who, 

through dedication to the program and concern for his fellow man, has 

made a unique contribution to the team. 

Larkee holds a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Harvard. 

Larkee and his wife, former Crimson field hockey All-American Judy (Collins) 

Larkee ’99, live in Norwood, Massachusetts with daughters Shea (9), 

Maureen (6) and Casey (newborn) and sons Sam (8), Joe (5) and Mike (3).

Ryan Crawford 

Assistant Coach 

Special Teams Coordinator/ 

Defensive Backs 

Ryan Crawford is in his fifth season working 

with Harvard’s defensive backs and his third 

as special teams coordinator in 2016. 

Crawford is responsible for recruiting the 

Atlantic coast section of the United States, 

including Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. 

In 2015, Harvard’s secondary assisted in holding its opponents to an 

average of 13.0 points per game and leading the Crimson to its 17th Ivy 

League title. Sean Ahern, who was elected the Harvard’s 143rd captain, 

was unanimously selected to All-Ivy first team. Chris Evans and Asante 

Gibson were also recognized on All-Ancient Eight teams. 

Justice Shelton-Mosley was named the conference’s Rookie of the Year 

and to the first team after averaging 19.0 yards on punt returns, the highest 

in school history. The special teams unit was one of the premiere in 

the nation, ranking second in punt return defense (0.9), third in blocked 

punts (five), fifth in blocked kicks (seven) and sixth in punt returns (16.5). 

In 2014, the Crimson’s secondary and special teams were some of the 

premiere units in the country, helping Harvard finish 10-0 and earn the 

program’s 16th conference championship. Harvard ranked first in the 

nation in scoring defense (12.3 points allowed per game), and the team 

blocked four punts, good for third in the country. Andrew Fischer, who 

garnered All-Ivy honors, was 29th in the nation, averaging 23.7 yards per 

kick return. Three members of the secondary also earned All-Ivy status, 

including Norman Hayes and Sean Ahern, who garnered first-team status. 

Crawford’s defensive backs helped Harvard claim its 15th Ivy League 

title in 2013, while earning four All-Ivy League honors. Among the 

quartet was Norman Hayes, a first-team selection, who tied for 16th 

nationally with three forced fumbles. The foursome helped the Crimson 

rank 25th nationally in scoring defense at 22.7 points allowed per 

game, while Harvard blanked Columbia for the second-straight season 

and held five of its opponents to 21 points or fewer. 

In Crawford’s first season in Cambridge, three Harvard defensive 

backs earned All-Ivy League recognition. Among that group was Chris 

Splinter, who picked off five passes and tied for fifth nationally with 

0.5 interceptions per game. The group helped the Crimson rank eighth 

nationally in scoring defense at 17.4 points allowed per game. 

Crawford came to Harvard after spending four seasons at the University 

of Rhode Island. He served as the Rams’ defensive coordinator and 

also carried out a previous stint as the program’s recruiting coordinator. 

Over his final three seasons at URI, Crawford’s secondary intercepted 

30 passes in the tough Colonial Athletic Association. Crawford has mentored 

a pair of all-conference defensive backs, including Jarrod Williams, 

who left URI in 2010 among the school’s all-time leaders in interceptions. 

Prior to his tenure at URI, Crawford spent three years as a cornerbacks 

coach at Bucknell. In 2007, the Bison led the Patriot League with 

14 interceptions. 

Crawford also spent two years at his alma mater, Davidson. He spent 

one year coaching the quarterbacks before switching to defense in 

2004 to coach the defensive backs. 

A 2001 Davidson graduate with a degree in biology, Crawford earned 

Associated Press first team All-America honors in 1999, when he led the 

nation with eight interceptions as part of a Davidson team that topped 

the country with 28 picks. In 2000, Crawford was named the I-AA 

Mid-Major Defensive Back of the Year as well as the I-AA Independent 

Defensive MVP. In 2000, he was named Davidson’s Special Teams Player 

of the Year as well as the school’s Male Athlete of the Year. 

Crawford was inducted into Davidson’s Hall of Fame on Feb. 4, 2012 

as part of the college’s 23rd induction class. 

After graduation, Crawford played semipro football for the Carolina 

Cowboys and competed professionally with the Indiana Firebirds of the 

Arena Football League. He was also a 2007 camp invitee with the Montreal 

Alouettes of the Canadian Football League and worked as a stuntman 

and featured extra in the movie “Radio,” starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. 

Crawford, his wife, Carrie, and their daughter Dylan (1) reside in 

Charlestown, Massachusetts. 

Joe Villapiano 


Wide Receivers 

Joe Villapiano, Harvard’s wide receivers 

coach, is in his 12th season as a member of 

the Crimson coaching staff in 2016. 

Villapiano recruits the western section of 

the United States, including California and 

Arizona. He returned to coaching the wide 

receivers in 2012 after spending the previous four years with the running 

backs. He has served previous stints coaching the wide receivers 

and the defensive backs. 

At the conclusion of the 2015 season, Harvard’s wide receivers helped 

the team average 303.5 passing yards per game. The unit helped Harvard 

post a 9-1 record and win the ninth-consecutive meeting against 

Yale en route to the program’s 17th championship overall. Freshman 

Justice Shelton-Mosely was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year, as 

well as earning second team honors as a wide receiver. 

In the fall of 2014, Harvard’s wide receivers helped the Crimson average 

230.9 passing yards per game, as well as 461.4 total yards per 

contest, good for 19th in the nation. This unit helped the Crimson post 

a perfect 10-0 record en route to the program’s second straight Ivy 

title and 16th championship overall. 

During the 2013 season, Villapiano’s receiving corps contributed to 

Harvard’s 15th Ivy League title by helping a passing attack that ranked 

seventh nationally in passing efficiency (155.38 rating), 18th in scoring 

offense (37.3) and 32nd in total offense (426.1 yards per game). 

In 2012, Harvard’s receivers aided the fourth-best passing attack in 

the nation with a passing efficiency rating of 157.25. They also helped 

the Crimson rank third in total offense (387.5 yards per game), fourth 

in scoring offense (39.4) and 19th in yards per game (273.20). 

From 2008 to ’11, Villapiano coached the team’s running backs, including 

Ivy League Player of the Year Gino Gordon ’11 in 2010. He also 

coached Ivy Rookie of the Year Treavor Scales ’13 in 2009. Gordon and 

Scales each earned three All-Ivy honors under Villapiano, and Scales 

claimed his fourth All-Ivy nod in 2012. 

Villapiano coached the Crimson defensive backs from 2006 to ’08. 

All four of Harvard’s defensive backs were named All-Ivy League in 

2007, with three of them, Steven Williams ’08, Andrew Berry ’09 and 

Doug Hewlett ’08, earning first-team status. In 2008, three Crimson 

defensive backs earned all-league accolades, while cornerback Matthew 

Hanson earned the selection as Ivy Rookie of the Year. 

Williams would set his name apart as Harvard’s all-time interceptions 

leader. His eight picks in 2007 tied a single-season record for the Crimson 

and gave him sole possession of first place on the all-time list with 

16. Named first team All-America by the American Football Coaches 

Association, Williams went on to represent his home state in the Texas 

versus The Nation All-Star game in El Paso, Texas. 

Berry meanwhile, capped an All-America career by twice being named an 

Academic All-American while also earning the FCS Scholar-Athlete of the 

Year award as a senior and graduating with two degrees in just four years. 

Villapiano came to Cambridge in 2005 after spending two years on 

the staff at the University of Connecticut, where he coordinated the 

offensive scout team and analyzed game video of opponents’ offenses. 

Villapiano joined the staff at Connecticut following his four-year 

playing career in Storrs. He caught five passes for 47 yards in his career 

and holds the distinction of having scored the final Connecticut 

touchdown in Memorial Stadium, the team’s former home facility. 

He earned the team’s Student-Athlete Award as a senior. 

Villapiano earned a bachelor’s degree in math education from Connecticut 

in 2003 and added a master’s degree in education in 2005. His 

uncle, Phil, was a four-time Pro Bowl linebacker with the Oakland Raiders 

and was a member of Oakland’s Super Bowl XI championship team. 

In addition to his work with the Crimson football program, Villapiano 

and his former high school teammates are active in the formation of a 

company called iB-LIEVE, which is designed to empower individuals 

and teams using belief, positive attitude and positive action.

MICHAEL HORAN 


Defensive Line 

Michael Horan enters his 

eighth season as an assistant 

coach for Harvard 

football in 2016. Horan is in 

his fifth season in the top position with the defensive 

line after serving for three years as assistant 

defensive line coach. 

He recruits student-athletes in the southwest 

United States, including Texas and Oklahoma. 

The defensive line helped the Crimson to its 

17th Ivy title in 2015 by allowing just 13.0 points 

per game. Defensive end James Duberg was 

named All-Ivy second team after registering 16 

tackles and four quarterback hurries. 

In 2014, the Crimson posted the program’s 17th 

undefeated, untied record, going 10-0 overall 

and winning the team’s 16th Ivy title. The defensive 

line was at the center of the championship 

run, helping the Crimson rank first in the nation 

JEREMY BANDY 


Run Game Coordinator/Offensive Line 

Jeremy Bandy is in his 

fifth season as Harvard’s run 

game coordinator-offensive 

line coach in 2016. 

Bandy coordinates recruiting 

efforts for the Crimson in the New England

crimson spirit harvard cheerleaders 


The Harvard Cheerleading team is a group of women and men 

dedicated to promoting school spirit, specifically through support 

of the College’s athletic teams. Harvard Cheerleading has its roots 

in the mid-nineteenth century and boasts such alumni as Franklin D. 

Roosevelt (1904) and Homer Peabody (1941). 

Cheerleading is a club sport consisting of 16-20 members. The team 

cheers at all football games (home and away) as well as home men’s 

and women’s basketball games. 

In addition to eliciting enthusiasm from the crowd, the cheerleaders 

are dedicated to improving and perfecting their sport and continue 

to do so through participation in competitions. The squad first 

entered the competition scene in 2008 competing in two local 

competitions and securing first place in the College co-ed division 

in both competitions - quite a feat for a squad with only a few 

members experienced in competitive cheerleading. In 2009, the 

squad extended its competition aspirations to the national stage, 

successfully securing a bid to the 2009 NCA College National 

Championships in Daytona, Florida for the first time. In our debut 

appearance at this national event, the team earned seventh place 

in the College Division I Co-ed category and earned a third place 

finish in the Challenge Cup. The team competed at nationals again in 

2013, and in 2014, moved to All Girl Division I, where we competed a 

personal best, placing fourth in the Challenge Cup. Last season, we 

competed in the first ever Ivy League Cheerleading Championship, 

placing second. We look forward to continuing our journey for 

national recognition in the coming seasons. 

Although competition has become a larger element of our program, 

we have not forgotten what college cheerleading is all about – leading 

and entertaining the fans. The squad has placed particular importance 

on finding new ways to increase crowd participation at sporting events. 

We can be seen performing 

alongside the band in the 

Friends and Family tailgate 

before football games as well 

as selling game face tattoos 

and other spirit items as a way 

to fundraise and interact with 

fans all the way up to game time. 

During the games, you can see 

us performing during time outs 

and game breaks, and don’t miss 

all the pushups we do when the 

Crimson score touchdowns. 

Beyond events specifically 

related to cheerleading, 

squad members also serve as 

ambassadors to the greater 

Boston community. Unmistakable in our uniforms and by our positive 

demeanor, we participate in such community endeavors as the 

Special Olympics, Relay for Life, the Hasty Pudding’s Woman of the 

Year Parade, as well as various Alumni events and community service 

projects. As a result of all of our hard work both on and off the field, 

the cheerleaders are now eligible to receive a Minor “H” designation 

from the Harvard Varsity Club and the Harvard Athletic Department, 

which again shows just how hard these athletes work to make this 

experience incredible for Harvard’s athletes and for you, our fans. 

We are always looking for feedback from our fans and enjoy hearing 

what we can do to make your game day experience better. If you would 

like to contact us with your comments or to join our newsletter mailing 

list please email Coach Meghan Goodwin at cheer@hcs.harvard.edu.

Thanks again for your continued support of Harvard Athletics and 

the Harvard Cheerleading team. Co Crimson!

crimson spirit harvard band 


Hello and welcome from the Harvard University Band! We can’t wait 

to play for you, and we hope you’ll catch the contagious Harvardiana 

spirit. Since 1919, the Band has supported Harvard Athletics with our 

spectacular music and endless enthusiasm. As we keep the good 

times rolling towards our 100th year, join in the fun! Dance along to 

your favorite pop tune and sing ye olde traditional fight songs (lyrics 

in the program). If you like what you hear, stop by and say so! We work 

hard to sound our best, and we love hearing from the crowd. 

The highlight of our program will be the Band’s halftime show. You 

will watch the world’s first university “scramble” band - who has time 

for that marching nonsense? – present a comic story with demonstrative 

field formations, painful puns, and props galore! All music is 

student-arranged and updated regularly to keep our repertoire fresh. 

Notable shows include the 1968 Playboy show, featured on the magazine’s 

cover, the 1979 Lone Ranger show, complete with white-horseriding 

drum major, and the 1994 playing of 1812 Overture (cannon 

shots!). More recently, Band shows have featured working Iron Man 

suits, snowball fights, and 15-foot-long dragons. What surprises will 

today’s show hold? 

As much as the Band likes to keep things new and exciting, we 

do have a series of traditions that you’ll observe throughout today’s 

game. Mostly, the Band likes to throw stuff. If you look our way in 

the fourth quarter, you’ll see confetti and flowers flying through the 

air. The flowers hold a special place in the Band’s heart. This tradition 

dates back to the 1950s when Alice Tondel, fondly known as “Mom,” 

gave yellow chrysanthemums to the dates of the then all-male Harvard 

University Band. Though the Band integrated in 1970, Mom continued 

to watch over the Band until her death in 1993. Today, we throw flowers 

in her memory. 

When you look over, you might also notice that some in our number 

have more grey hair than typically found on a 20-year-old head. Every 

week, the Band’s ranks swell with returning alumni – “Crusties” – who 

play with us and teach us their archaic cheers. While our 100+ students 

listen to the Crusties tell about “Back when I was in the Band….,” we 

know that once you’re one of us, you never really leave. 

So thank you again for joining us for today’s revelry, and be sure to 

come back soon!

Harvard Fight Songs and Alma Mater 


Harvardiana 

With Crimson in triumph flashing 

‘Mid the strains of victory, 

Poor Eli’s hopes we are dashing 

Into blue obscurity. 

Resistless our team sweeps goalward 

With the fury of the blast; 

We’ll fight for the name of Harvard 

‘Til the last white line is passed. 

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard! (2x) 

Veritas 

We say hooray! Hooray! Hooray! 

There’s never an Eli can teach us to play! 

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard! 

See how the bleachers blue turn pale with fright; 

Send a cheer across to bleach ‘em nice and white! 

Oh, look at the way we smash and rip ‘em through 

While the blue bulldog howls “Boo-la, boo-la, boo!” 

Let out your voices now so loud and hale, 

‘Tis a fun’ral ode we sing to Eli Yale. 

Oh, give us a yell ‘Hi! Hi!’ for Harvard, 

For the Crimson today! 

Score 

No hope for Eli, 

Here’s where we score! 

Come twist the bulldog’s tail; 

We’ll win once more, 

For Harvard’s back at New Haven; 

Hark to their mournful wail. 

It might be worse, boys, call up a hearse 

For poor old yale! 

Soldiers Field 

O’er the stands of flaming Crimson 

Harvard banners fly. 

Cheer on cheer like volleyed thunder 

Echo to the sky. 

See the Crimson tide is turning, 

Gaining more and more, 

Then fight! fight! fight! for we win tonight 

Old Harvard forevermore. 

Gridiron King 

Then hit the line for Harvard, 

For Harvard wins today! 

We will show the sons of Eli 

That the Crimson still holds sway. 

Sweep down the field again, 

Victory or die! 

And we’ll give the grand old cheer boys, 

When the Harvard team goes by. 

Yo-Ho 

Yo ho! The good ship Harvard 

Is goalward bound again; 

All the crew are at the halyards, 

Here’s a hail for Johnny Harvard’s men! 

Bright Crimson at the forepeak 

Rides high above the foam. 

While we sweep through the deep blue, 

Harvard strikes home! 

Onward Crimson 

Onward Crimson, staunch defenders 

Of the emblem we hold dear, 

Marching dauntless through the gauntlets 

While the Elis quake with fear! 

Stay the course now, might Crimson, 

For the glory and the pride! 

Undefeated, foes retreated, 

Harvard’s vict’ry sanctified. 

Fair Harvard 

Fair Harvard! we join in thy jubilant throng, 

And with blessings surrender thee o’er 

By these festival rites, from the age that is past, 

To the age that is waiting before. 

O Relic and type of our ancestors’ worth, 

That hast long kept their memory warm, 

First flow’r of their wilderness! Star of their night! 

Calm rising through change and through storm. 

RAD 

R-A-D-C-L-I-F-F-E 

Oh, Radcliffe, our alma mater 

We sing your glories to the sun 

We are your grateful daughters 

Our voices raised as one 

You gave us joys and wisdom 

To set our goals and values true 

Radcliffe, our alma mater 

We pledge our loyalty to you. 

Fight Fiercely, Harvard 

Fight fiercely, Harvard! 

Fight, fight, fight! 

Demonstrate to them our skill. 

Albeit they possess the might, 

Nonetheless we have the will. 

How we shall celebrate our victory? 

We shall invite the whole team 

Up for tea! How jolly! 

Hurl that spheroid down the field 

And fight! Fight! Fight! 

Ten Thousand Men of Harvard

Illegitimum non carborundum; 

Domine salvum fac. 

Illegitimum non Carborundum; 

Domine salvum fac. 

Gaudeamus igitur! 

Veritas non sequitur? 

Illegitimum non carborundum -- ipso facto! 

Fourth Verse: 

Ten thousand men of Harvard want vict’ry today, 

For they know that o’er old Eli 

Fair Harvard holds sway. 

So then we’ll conquer old Eli’s men, 

And when the game ends, we’ll sing again: 

Ten thousand men of Harvard gained vict’ry today!

The Harvard-Yale Rivalry 

Perhaps the best-known two-point conversion in college football history, Pete Varney brings in Frank Chiampi’s 

pass in the end zone in Harvard’s 29-29 ‘win’ against Yale in 1968. 

It was the first rivalry in all of college athletics. Today, 164 years later, 

Harvard-Yale still stands as one of the best series in the world of sports. 

These schools are familiar with being first and foremost. Yale fields 

35 varsity sports and Harvard has 42, the most of any Division I school 

in the nation. 

Harvard teams have won 142 national titles in sports ranging from 

crew to football and lacrosse to fencing. Yale has 106 national titles to 

its credit, including several in football, swimming and diving, squash 

and golf. 

The schools have combined to capture 602 Ivy League championships 

(Harvard 404, Yale 198) since the circuit was formed in 1956 and 

combined to win 15 League titles in 2014-15 with Harvard claiming 10. 

Former Harvard football coach Joe Restic, who guided the Crimson 

for 23 seasons until his retirement in 1993, quipped, “Each year, we’re 

friends for 364 days and rivals for just one.” While he was primarily 

assessing his relationship with his legendary Yale counterpart Carm 

Cozza, those words apply across the board. 

Harvard-Yale is as much a debate as it is a feud. Think Lincoln-Douglas, 

not Hatfield-McCoy, though it should be noted the two schools jousted 

some eight years before the 1860 presidential candidates squared 

off on opposite podiums. In politics, the last four U.S. presidents 

have earned a combined five degrees from Harvard and Yale. Twelve 

presidents have earned a combined 13 degrees from Harvard and Yale. 

In all, a high of five U.S. presidents did their undergrad at Harvard 

(compared to three at Yale), and three earned graduate degrees at 

Harvard (compared to two at Yale). 

Yet a rivalry doesn’t grow in stature by accident. Both schools have 

played major roles in starting, advancing and shaping college athletics. 

In 1843, Yale started the first college boat club in America; in 1884, 

Eli runner Charles Sherrill first demonstrated the four-point crouch for 

sprinters; in 1890, Yale introduced “cheerleaders” at a football game, a 

first in college sports; in 1896, the first intercollegiate ice hockey game 

featured Yale and Johns Hopkins (a 2-2 tie); and in 1897, Yale men’s 

basketball played in the country’s first 5-on-5 game. 

Harvard, founded in 1636, has the distinction of being the nation’s 

first college. Among its athletics firsts are: in 1877, the first baseball 

catcher’s mask was used in a Harvard game, a fencing mask adapted 

by inventor Fred Thayer for Alexander Tyng; in 1896, Harvard freshman 

James B. Connolly became the first gold medalist of the modern 

Olympics (winning the hop, hop and jump); in 1901, women’s field 

hockey was first introduced to America on the Harvard (Radcliffe) 

campus; in 1903, Harvard Stadium, the nation’s oldest football 

stadium, was built; in 1905, Harvard played in the first intercollegiate 

soccer match (falling to Haverford, 1-0); and in 1947, Chester Pierce ’48 

became the first African-American footballer to play against a white 

college in the South when the Crimson met the University of Virginia 

in Charlottesville. 

The football rivalry, however, is arguably the most revered. Harvard 

and Yale have met 132 times on the gridiron since November 13, 

1875 in New Haven (a 4-0 Harvard win). The series is the third-mostplayed 

in college football history and is now referenced around the 

country simply as “The Game.” And, while combining for 18 national 

championships and 31 Ivy crowns, the annual contest still attracts 

sellout crowds to Cambridge and over 50,000 fans to the Bowl in 

New Haven. 

Yet it was football that nearly splintered relations between these two 

schools. In 1894, following a game known as the “Springfield Massacre” 

when seven players were carried off the field in “dying condition,” 

Harvard and Yale broke off relations. Each blamed the other for the 

contest’s unprecedented brutality. 

Historian George Sullivan wrote, “So savage was combat on a neutral 

Springfield gridiron … that newspapers printed a casualty summary 

similar to those listing victims of a disaster. The game’s violence 

appalled the world and ignited a national uproar about football 

ferocity-outrage that threatened the sport’s future.” 

And the rivalry’s as well. The schools didn’t meet in football for two 

seasons, while the baseball, crew and track and field teams avoided 

each other for one. But the allure of competition was too great, and 

by 1897, the schools were back at it. Harvard’s student newspaper, The 

Crimson, welcomed the resumption: “forgetting the past and resolving 

a generous open-handed rivalry for the future, Harvard joins hands 

with Yale and welcomes her heartily and joyfully to her old place as 

Harvard’s nearest and dearest foe.” 

By 1898, the football game had relocated to its now-familiar and 

permanent perch as the final one on each school’s docket. 

Football has also generated the most lore. The notorious flying 

wedge, the brainchild of Harvard assistant Lorin Deland, was 

introduced in the 1892 H-Y game. Harvard coach Percy Haughton is 

purported to have choked a bulldog to fire up his troops for the 1908 

game (although just a story, whatever he did worked as the Crimson 

| 33 |


The Harvard-Yale Rivalry 


A crowd of roughly 57,000 was on hand at Harvard Stadium for the 1913 edition of The Game. 

won 4-0). In 1923, Yale’s T.A.D. Jones told his players, “Gentlemen, you 

are now going out to play football against Harvard. Never again in your 

whole life will you do anything so important.” 

The 1930s had the majestic Barry Wood (Harvard)-Albie Booth 

(Yale) battles. It was also the era when a Harvard illustrator drew a 

game program cover of a pilgrim unceremoniously sitting on Yale’s 

famous captain’s fence. Some Eli alums were so outraged that a 

suspension of the series was briefly discussed, before cooler heads 

prevailed (Harvard’s 1995 football captain, Justin Frantz, became the 

first Harvard athlete invited to sit on the fence, and his picture with 

Yale captain Tony Mazurkiewicz graced that year’s program). 

The 1952 Game is remembered for the “ultimate insult” when Yale’s 

football team manager, Charlie Yeager, was put in the game to catch 

a two-point conversion that culminated a 41-14 Eli blowout at the 

Stadium. More than half a century later, that one still hurts. 

Harvard’s 1968 “win” over Yale is still rated as one of the top college 

football games ever played. Both schools entered The Game owning 

identical 8-0 records, but Yale appeared well on its way to victory and 

a perfect season as thousands silently streamed out of The Stadium 

as the clock counted down. That’s before Harvard miraculously scored 

16 points in the final 42 seconds to “defeat” the Elis, 29-29. An extra 

edition of The Crimson, issued just five minutes after the final gun, 

carried the now famous headline, “HARVARD BEATS YALE, 29-29.” 

Some joke that Harvard’s greatest “win” was actually a tie, but none of 

those people were wearing Crimson that afternoon. 

Another memorable day came in 1982, when a group of MIT frat boys 

exploded a balloon out of the Stadium turf — at midfield, no less — 

during Harvard’s 45-7 triumph. 

More recently, Yale rallied to win successive thrillers in 1998, 1999 

and 2000. Harvard has had the edge through the early 21st century, 

however, as the Crimson won five straight against the Bulldogs from 

2001-05 and an unprecedented nine consecutive from 2007-present. 

The 2005 Game immediately joined the ranks of the greatest in the 

history of the series as the Crimson rallied to force overtime before 

prevailing, 30-24, in the third extra session of one of the longest games 

in Ivy League history. 

Another memorable moment was written in 2007 when the teams 

met at Yale Bowl in front of 57,248 fans with the Bulldogs ranked 11th 

and Harvard 25th. The teams were undefeated in Ivy play, marking just 

the fourth time in league history that two unbeaten teams had met in 

the final game of the year. 

For Yale, a victory would also mean its first 10-0 season in 47 years 

and its first outright league championship in 26. Instead, the previously 

9-0 Bulldogs were whipped, 37-6, marking Harvard’s most lopsided 

victory at the Yale Bowl since a 35-6 win in 1959. Had it not been for a 

late punt return for a touchdown by the Eli’s, Harvard would have had 

its most uneven victory since a 36-0 victory in 1914. 

In 2008, Harvard limited Yale to just 90 yards of offense on a bonechilling 

day at the Stadium as Harvard, which finished ranked 14th 

nationally, cruised to a 10-0 win. The victory gave Harvard its secondstraight 

Ivy championship and would mark the final game for Yale 

coach Jack Siedlecki. 

In 2009, Harvard came away victorious by scoring two late 

touchdowns in a 14-10 thriller. With Yale leading 10-0 late in the fourth, 

Harvard drove 76 yards on six plays in just 1:50 to make it 10-7. Yale got 

the ball back and moved the ball to its own 37 as the clock crept down. 

Yale eventually found itself in fourth-and-22 yard from its 25 yard line 

at 2:40 on the clock. With the league’s best punter in Tom Mante back 

to punt, new Yale coach Tom Williams instead called an improbable 

reverse run on a fake punt. John Powers was painfully stopped seven 

yards shy, giving Harvard the ball at Yale’s 40 yard line with 2:25 as 

a stunned Yale crowd looked on. It took Harvard just three plays to 

devastate the crowd again as Chris Lorditch took a seam pass from QB 

Collier Winters for a 32 yard TD, giving Harvard a 14-10 victory sealed 

moments later by linebacker Jon Takamura’s interception. 

In 2010, Marco Iannuzzi’s 84 yard kickoff return for a touchdown to 

start the second half sparked the Crimson to a 28-21 victory. 

In 2011, Harvard piled up more than 500 yards of offense and scored 

45 unanswered points to win its sixth-straight game at Yale Bowl by a 

lopsided 45-7 margin. A missed chip-shot field goal was Harvard’s only 

negative but placekicker David Mothander shared in the fun as well as 

he ran for a TD on a fake field goal before the half. 

During the 2012 addition of The Game, Crimson running back Treavor 

Scales rushed for 177 yards, while quarterback Colton Chapple threw 

for 209 yards and ran for another 128, as the Crimson knocked off the 

Elis, 34-24, for a program record sixth-straight time. 

Harvard continued the winning streak in 2013, as Paul Stanton, Jr., 

scored four touchdowns (two rushing, two receiving) in a 34-7 win 

at the Yale Bowl. Stanton, who tied Harvard record for TDs in the 

game (Eddie Mahan ’16, 1915), helped the Crimson clinch a share of the 

Ancient Eight title. 

In the 2014 version of the rivalry, the Crimson put an exclamation 

point on a perfect season by topping Yale, 31-24, to finish 10-0 and 

7-0 in the Ivy League to grab its second-straight conference crown, 

16th overall title and eighth under head coach Tim Murphy. Harvard 

also played host to ESPN’s College GameDay, attracting more than 

1.9 million viewers nationwide for the premiere college football show. 

Justice Shelton-Mosley scored three touchdowns, two receiving and 

one on the ground, and Scott Hosch tosses four TDs, as the Crimson 

defeated Yale, 38-19, to earn its ninth-straight victory over its archrival 

in 2015.

A Master Chef? 

by Steve Conn 


He is an economics 

and political science 

major who interned 

last summer with Yale’s 

investments office. He 

wears bow ties, looks 

like a GQ cover image 

and plays the drums 

and piano. Yale captain 

Darius Manora would 

appear to be headed for 

either Wall Street or a 

career in entertainment. 

But that’s not what his 

heart – and his exceptional 

culinary skills – 

are telling him. Manora, 

a senior linebacker from 

Alexandria, Va., wants 

to become a restauranteur 

in Washington, D.C. 

Talk about bucking the career trend of Yale football players. 

Ask his teammates, and they’ll tell you Manora has a “nose 

for the ball.” Ask his teammates, family or anyone who’s sampled 

his cooking, and they’ll say he has a nose for food. 

“Darius’ skills in the kitchen may be equal to his skills on the 

football field,” said senior tight end Sebastian Little, who like 

Manora is in the Zeta Psi fraternity. “When I get home after 

a long day and peek around the corner to the kitchen, ‘Chef 

Emeril’ Darius is usually responsible for the gourmet smells 

wafting through the house.” 

Darius puts his olfactory skills to use annually in the Manora 

Family Holiday Bakeoff, in which he and his mom, dad 

and brother make their best baked dishes. A family vote (no 

picking your own dish) decides the winner. Grandma is the 

tiebreaker. 

“Darius started winning the contest in middle school and has 

continued to expand his abilities,” said his mom, Anna Manora, 

a retired teacher and school administrator. “His classmates 

routinely rave about the dishes he creates during the summers 

at Yale.” 

He’s been as consistent on the football field as he is in the 

kitchen. Manora, 6 feet and 235 pounds, has played in every 

Yale varsity game since he arrived in New Haven and has more 

than 200 tackles in his career. 

“Darius is a smart player who understands the game and is 

one of the toughest that I have been fortunate to coach,” said 

linebacker coach Sean McGowan. “He plays with a great energy 

and effort that infects his teammates.” 

Manora has had some memorable moments, and it’s tempting 

to wonder what passed through his mind during them. 

Was he thinking of making pie out of pumpkins (check those 

orange helmets) when Yale’s defense squashed Princeton in 

2014 behind his eight solos and 14 overall tackles? Was he 

hungry for pulled pork a week earlier when he snatched a pigskin 

pitched by a Brown back and turned an aborted flea-flicker 

play into a 34-yard return for a key Yale touchdown? 

Defense wasn’t Manora’s first thought when he came to Yale. 

At St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes School in Virginia, he headed the 

offensive all-star selections from the Interstate Athletic Conference, 

a private school league in Virginia, Maryland and the 

District of Columbia. He was a running back, punt and kickoff 

returner, and occasional receiver as well as one of the team’s 

leading tacklers. He had 17 touchdowns and 1,600 all-purpose 

yards as a senior. 

He hoped to continue on offense at Yale, but was needed 

right away on the other side. He became so integral to the defense 

that he remained there even when injuries left the Bulldogs 

short of running backs the last two seasons. 

Manora spent his early years in San Antonio, Texas, in a military 

family. His father, Greg, took a job in Washington and 

moved the family to Alexandria just before Darius entered 

middle school. The move wasn’t easy for a family of diehard 

Dallas Cowboys fans who loved going to Texas Stadium on 

Sundays. However, priorities have to be set, especially as a 

young student-athlete’s time becomes limited. A top priority 

for Darius was staying in shape. 

His parents say Darius developed his competitive nature and 

strong work ethic by training with and competing against his 

dad. Whether it was running the stairs at the Fort Belvoir 

Amphitheater or racing in their annual 100-meter sprint (Darius 

also ran for his high school track team), there was a clear 

purpose for both father and son. 

His parents’ caring is reflected in a distinctive part of Darius’s 

attire: his bow ties. His mother first had him wear one at 

the age of 3 and has bought them for him ever since. 

“The bow tie represents a mother’s love and recognition 

of the unique gifts and talents in her son,” Greg Manora said. 

“Throughout the years, Darius continued to embrace the bow 

tie as a signature part of his style, because it set him apart as 

someone who is different, and more importantly, because it 

symbolizes his mother’s love, prayers and undying faith in his 

ability to overcome every challenge in life.” 

His parents say the ties represent “love, hope, faith and pride 

in a son’s Talent, Intellect, Enthusiasm, and Success. That is 

what’s in the bow T.I.E.S.” 

His success is tied to his ability to stick to priorities. Once a 

serious drummer, he’s less involved now, though he still plays 

some. Leading the team comes first. 

“It was not surprising [that] Darius was named captain,” Mc- 

Gowan said, “because of his selflessness and his ability to connect 

with everyone in the program.” 

Manora sees two levels to his leadership role. “I am the quarterback 

of the defense, making sure we are aligned properly 

and are all on the same page,” he said. “My job is also to keep 

things positive and avoid the ‘snowball’ effect [when things 

go wrong] by instilling the next-play mentality.” 

Manora briefly entertained the idea of playing tailback last 

fall when injuries depleted the backfield, but said he dropped 

that because was calling the signals for the defense at the 

time. He said he also didn’t think he had the stamina to carry 

the football. 

With his multiple talents, he probably could have pulled it 

off. He certainly had the stomach for it.

LORE & MORE: THE HArvARD-YALE RIVALRY 

• With its 133rd game today, the Harvard-Yale rivalry is the thirdmost 

played series in all of college football. Only Lehigh-Lafayette 

(151 meetings) and Princeton-Yale (139) have played 

more often. Harvard and Yale first met in football Nov. 13, 1875, 

at Hamilton Field in New Haven, Conn. 

• Harvard won its first national football championship in 1890 

with a season-ending 12-6 victory over Yale. 

• The 1894 Game was so brutal that the schools called off relations 

for the next two years. Seven players were carried off the 

field in “dying” condition. Yale won the contest, 12-4. 

• The series pits the first- and second-most winning teams in 

the Division I Championship Subdivision against each other. 

Coming into today’s contest, Yale has 890 wins to rank first, 

while Harvard’s 856 wins are second. 

• Little Red Flag is a Harvard pennant that has been waved following 

every Crimson score in The Game since 1884. Carried 

by Harvard’s “most loyal fan,” it is currently in the possession 

of William Markus ’60, a resident of Pittsburgh who nonetheless 

attends every Harvard football game, home and away. 

• Harvard’s and Yale’s fight songs both refer to the other school. 

The Crimson’s song, “Ten Thousand Men of Harvard,” features 

the line, “So then we’ll conquer old Eli’s men, and when the 

game ends, we’ll sing again.” Yale’s song, “Down the Field,” 

concludes with, “Harvard’s team may fight to the end, but Yale 

will win.” 

• The most famous Game in the series is Harvard’s 29-29 “win” 

in 1968. Holding a 29-13 lead in the final minute, Yale was 

poised to complete a perfect season, but the host Crimson 

scored 16 points in the final 42 seconds. The last points came 

on a two-point conversion with no time left, leaving both 

teams with 8-0-1 records. Actor Tommy Lee Jones ’69 was 

an All-America offensive tackle for the Crimson that season. 

• The 2005 Game became one of the most famous matchup in 

the last 30 years. It is the only Harvard-Yale game decided in 

overtime, and stands as the first triple-overtime game in Ivy 

League history. The Crimson trailed, 21-3, in the second half 

before staging its greatest come-from-behind win in series 

history, and ultimately prevailed, 30-24, when Clifton Dawson 

rushed for a touchdown. 

• In every formal season since 1898, Harvard’s final opponent has 

been Yale. There is only one exception, as the 1919 campaign 

was completed with a 7-6 Rose Bowl victory over Oregon. 

Harvard got there with a 10-3 decision over the Elis. 

• Harvard is 26-22-1 at the Yale Bowl and 26-25-3 at Harvard 

Stadium; The visiting team has won 15 of the last 26 Games 

in the series.

Pat McinALLY ’75: Harvard’s Newest College Football 

Hall of Fame Inductee 

By John Powers 

You see the photograph from that topsy-turvy afternoon 

at Franklin Field 43 autumns ago -- the twisting, turning, 

one-handed circus catch that vanquished Penn -- and it all 

comes back. His angular body seemingly strung together by 

Geppetto. His looming largest at the most pivotal moments in 

the biggest games. His brash predictions that he had a knack 

for carrying off. His riveting ability to receive, punt, kick, tackle 

(two touchdown-savers on his own punts against Dartmouth) 

and, on one startling occasion against Yale, to throw. 

Harvard has had no football player remotely like John Patrick 

(Pat) McInally ‘75 before or since. None who looked like 

him, talked like him or prophesied like him. His two goals, 

he said, were to kick a 70-yard field goal and earn a Rhodes 

Scholarship. The man was a human exclamation point. “Today, 

immortality!”, McInally proclaimed before he ran rampant 

across and above the Brown secondary. 

That immortality will be formalized on December 6 at 

the National Football Foundation’s annual awards dinner in 

New York where McInally will be enshrined in the College 

Football Hall of Fame, the 18th Harvard player inducted and 

the first living Crimson entrant since Endicott ‘Chub’ Peabody 

‘42 in 1973. 

For a man who grew up not far from Disneyland, who 

wasn’t originally interested in coming to Harvard and who 

was planning on playing basketball when he arrived in the 

fall of 1971 what McInally achieved in two seasons in what he 

considered an extracurricular activity was remarkable. By the 

time he departed for a decade-long career with the Cincinnati 

Bengals McInally had made first team All-America and 

set Crimson game, season and career records for receptions 

and touchdowns. 

Yet it wasn’t so much the records, he once observed, as it 

was the nature of so many of his catches -- his lanky frame 

contorted in mid-air, his hands (often only one) reaching 

above or around defenders -- and the nature of when he made 

them, often in games where triumph appeared doubtful. 

McInally, who stood 6 feet 6 inches and weighed 190 lbs. and 

slept on an oversized waterbed in Lowell House, was Ichabod 

Crane in a helmet, his stockings not quite reaching his pants. 

He would stand at the edge of the huddle in his No. 84 jersey 

with shirttail showing, legs crossed, hands on hips, head 

cocked to one side like an eavesdropping stork. “Covering Pat 

is like covering a telephone pole,” sighed Holy Cross defensive 

back John Provost. 

McInally had been a quarterback at Villa Park HS but always 

had wanted to be on the receiving end of his passes. The first 

one he caught at Harvard, against the Tufts freshmen, went for 

a 55-yard touchdown. “Next year I’m going to run your inkwell 

dry,” he told sports information director Dave Matthews after 

spending his sophomore season as an understudy. 

His farewell appearance, against unbeaten Yale in the Stadium, 

was notable for two startling feats -- his 46-yard pass to 

Jim Curry off a lateral that set up the go-ahead touchdown 

just before the half and his 70-yard kickoff that went unreturned 

after Milt Holt’s winning tally. 

The Bengals chose him in the fifth round of the NFL draft 

-- he might have gone higher but some teams feared that he 

was too smart. He was, McInally once observed, ‘a person who 

happens to play football’. He was a National Scholar-Athlete, 

a cum laude graduate and art history buff who was partial to 

French impressionists. When he turned up at training camp he 

brought along Shakespeare, Dumas and Bond. 

Isaac Curtis, his fellow receiver, dubbed McInally ‘The Wizard’. 

“Hey, Harvard, what did your line average?”, Ohio State 

players asked him before the College All-Star Game. “Oh, 

about 3.8,” replied McInally, who broke his leg catching a 

touchdown pass against the Steelers (‘Not bad for an Ivy 

Leaguer,’ he cracked.) and missed his rookie season. 

McInally went on to a solid career as a receiver and punter 

for Cincinnati, made All-Pro and appeared in a Super Bowl. 

But what he’s best known for is being the only confirmed 

player to achieve a perfect Wonderlic score in the cognitive 

ability test that the NFL gives to its potential draftees. “One 

of the reasons I did so well is because I didn’t think it mattered,” 

he said. 

McInally always was drawn to the unhelmeted life and his 

interests, like collecting rare children’s books, were eclectic. 

While playing for the Bengals he wrote a nationally syndicated 

advice column (‘Pat Answers For Kids’) and during his retirement 

year conceived and sold to Kenner the Starting Lineup 

action figure series that reaped $700 million in sales. In 2007, 

after Wonderlic hired him to be its director of marketing and 

testing, he took the test again and missed just one answer. 

“Not a bad score after six concussions,” McInally observed.

Welcome TO HISTORIc HARVARD Stadium 


When it was built, there were doubters who thought it would never 

withstand the weight of a large crowd, let alone the brutal cold of a 

New England winter. 

But more than a century later it still stands proud, the “aristocrat of 

American sports amphitheaters” as one writer put it, and is celebrated 

for saving football as well as for its timeless charm and fabulous 

sightlines for fans. 

Harvard Stadium turns 113 years old this fall, and the nation’s 

oldest permanent concrete structure for intercollegiate athletics has 

never looked better. First opened Nov. 14, 1903, for a game against 

Dartmouth, the Stadium has since hosted nearly 700 Harvard football 

contests as well as hundreds of other athletic and non-athletic events, 

including Olympic and professional soccer, lacrosse, rock concerts, 

benefits and political rallies. 

In March of 1903, it was announced that the Class of 1879, in honor 

of its 25th anniversary, would present the university with a stadium 

seating 40,000 spectators. The plans provided for a horseshoe-shaped 

structure of steel, similar to the stadium at Athens, with seats of stone 

and concrete for 27,000 persons. An additional 15,000 temporary 

seats were to be added whenever the demand made it necessary. Its 

total cost was $310,000. 

It would be a much-needed addition to the Harvard athletics 

landscape. The football and baseball teams had played for several 

years at Soldiers Field, where fans jammed into decaying, unsafe 

wooden bleachers to cheer on the Crimson. Work on the Stadium 

began shortly after the completion of the 1903 baseball season, and 

the foundations were dug in early July. Even when the Stadium opened 

some four-and-a-half months later, it was far from a finished product. 

Much of the seating on its eastern side was of a temporary wood 

nature and capacity stood at just 20,000. 

The Stadium marked the first use of reinforced concrete on a large 

scale, and skeptics abounded who were certain the building would not 

be safe. To allay those fears, the construction superintendent walked 

beneath the stands while spectators took their seats on opening day. 

In those days, football was a running and kicking game. But as the 

sport became increasingly violent, some colleges were dropping 

it in favor of rugby, so in 1906 U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt 

1880 stepped in to save the game. He organized the Intercollegiate 

Football Conference — a collection of 28 colleges and universities and 

the forerunner of the NCAA — and demanded it adopt rules changes 

to make the sport safer. Some suggested widening the field, but the 

permanent nature of the stands at Harvard Stadium made it impractical 

for the school to endorse this plan. 

Concerned that eliminating football at Harvard might mean the 

end of the sport on a national level, the committee instead approved 

the forward pass, though it did its best to minimize its effect on the 

sport. In 1906, the penalty for an incomplete was for the offensive 

team to lose possession (the rule was “softened” in 1907 to a loss of 15 

yards). Other rules changes were also implemented, including giving 

the offense just three downs instead of five to gain a first down and 

shortening games from 70 to 60 minutes with a mandatory 10-minute 

rest between halves. In hindsight, however, it was the adoption of the 

forward pass that curtailed the sport’s violence and led to the surge in 

popularity that remains to this day. 

The Stadium colonnade was added in 1910, and the press box was 

also built to accommodate growing media interest. When the press 

box burned down in 1981, it was rebuilt at a cost of $375,000, more 

than the price tag for the entire Stadium some 80 years earlier. The 

Stadium’s seating area was refurbished two years later. 

Today, Harvard Stadium remains one of the great venues in all of 

organized football. Sports fans from across the nation visit the Stadium 

to experience the rich tradition, and Harvard’s student-athletes are 

quick to talk about the unique experience of playing in one of the 

sport’s true treasures.

Harvard Stadium NOTES 

Field, now the sight of Langdell Hall. Football, and most of the school’s 

outdoor teams, moved to Soldiers Field in 1894. 

All-Time Record 

Entering the 2016 season, Harvard has played 693 games in Harvard 

Stadium since Nov. 14, 1903 (an 11-0 loss to Dartmouth). The Crimson’s 

all-time Stadium record is 440-219-34 (.659). 

The First & The Finest 

Nestled in a spectacular setting next to the Charles River and with 

the Boston skyline on the horizon, Harvard Stadium ranks among the 

nation’s finest college football facilities. 

Built in 1903, it is also the nation’s oldest stadium. Harvard Stadium 

is a horseshoe containing architectural elements of a Greek stadium 

and Roman circus and is considered an engineering marvel, as it was 

the world’s first massive reinforced concrete structure and the first 

large permanent arena for American college athletics. With a seating 

capacity of 30,323, Harvard Stadium is praised for its outstanding 

sightlines for fans. 

Harvard Stadium once accommodated as many as 57,166 spectators 

when steel stands were built in the north end zone. Those stands were 

removed in 1951. 

It Changed The Game 

The close proximity of the stands to the field at the Stadium led 

to one of the most successful innovations in football history. In 1906, 

debate raged about the sport’s roughness and several colleges had 

dropped football in favor of rugby. When the football rules committee 

met to discuss changes, Walter Camp proposed widening the field by 

40 feet. However, that idea would require considerable alterations to 

the Stadium. Ultimately, the committee adopted the forward pass. 

National Recognition 

Harvard Stadium is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and 

is one of just three athletic arenas to be so designated. The Yale Bowl 

(built in 1914) and the Rose Bowl (built in 1922) are the other two. 

More Than Harvard Football 

Track and field, rugby, lacrosse, soccer, professional football and 

even ice hockey have also been played at Harvard Stadium, which is 

also home to the Crimson men’s and women’s lacrosse programs. 

The then-American Football League Boston Patriots called Harvard 

Stadium home for two years from 1970-71. 

The Stadium also hosted Olympic soccer competition in the summer 

of 1984 (Cameroon, Canada, Chile, France, Iraq, Norway and Qatar all 

competed), and was the site for the university’s 350th anniversary 

celebration in 1986. 

The U.S. track and field Olympic trials were held here in 1916 and 1920. 

Historic, Yet Modern 

The last major renovation of the Stadium infrastructure took place in 

1984, and recent structural testing confirms that Harvard Stadium will 

be as functional well into the 21st century as it was in the early 20th. 

In recent years, the playing field was re-centered to improve the 

view for fans seated in the closed end and accommodate the 1998 

construction of the Murr Center. 

Perhaps the most dramatic change to Harvard Stadium took place as 

part of a 2006-07 upgrade to the facility that included replacing the 

natural grass surface with FieldTurf, the addition of lights to allow for 

nighttime use of the field and the installation of a removable dome-like 

“bubble,” that allows for year-round use of the facility by all varsity 

teams as well as club and recreational groups. 

In 2007, the Crimson hosted Brown in the first night game in program 

history at the Stadium, and 2008 saw the addition of a video board 

and updated public address system. 

In the final game of the 2014 season, Harvard played host to ESPN’s 

College GameDay, the preeminent national college football preview 

show. In preparation for the 2015 campaign, Harvard Stadium saw the 

installation of a new state-of-the-art FieldTurf surface. 

A Gift From The Class of 1879 

The Stadium, a 25th-anniversary gift of the Class of 1879, was 

constructed in four-and-a-half months at the cost of just $310,000. 

Prior to the Stadium’s opening, Harvard played its home football 

games at a number of sites. Jarvis Field, where the Littauer Center now 

stands, was the setting for the Crimson’s inaugural contest against 

McGill (1874) and its first intercollegiate game against Tufts (1875). 

After several seasons of playing home games at the South End 

Grounds, Harvard returned to Cambridge in 1881 and played at Holmes

GameDay AT The Game 

There was a buzz in the air on a cold November 

morning as students filed into the Dillon 

Quad with signs in their hands, ready to endure 

the chilly weather to cheer on their team and 

earn some nationally-televised face time. For 

the first time in program history, Harvard University 

hosted ESPN’s College GameDay and 

members of the Harvard community lined in the 

early morning hours of November 22, 2014 to 

support the Crimson. 

Visiting its second Ivy school and first since 

2002, GameDay was eager to showcase all that 

Harvard and Yale have to offer – both on the field 

and in the classroom. The premier college football 

preview show showcased three Crimson feature 

stories. The first detailed how Norman Hayes 

’15 and his family bonded together to survive the 

tragedy of losing his sister Olivia. The second focused 

on the Crimson seniors’ Last Lap, where 

each graduating member shares a moment with 

every man on the team after the final practice. 

The ‘History of The Game’ depicted the original 

rivalry, as ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi described the battle 

as ‘oppression vs. freedom; justice vs. tyranny; 

darkness vs. light; good vs. evil; Harvard vs. Yale.’ 

The show was watched by nearly two million 

viewers before Harvard clinched the outright 

Ivy League championship title in one of the 

most dramatic games in recent memory. It was 

a day that no fan will soon forget.

EDUCATION THROUGH ATHLETICS 


LIFE OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM 

Extracurricular opportunities at Harvard are virtually unlimited. 

There are more than 400 official student organizations at the College, 

and the number and nature of organizations change constantly as 

students’ interests evolve. 

College facilities include concert halls, theaters with large stages 

and others with more intimate surroundings, dance studios, rehearsal 

spaces and practice rooms. Creative students may enjoy the visual arts 

as a satisfying hobby or a serious academic pursuit. 

Harvard values the lessons that have long been taught by athletic 

participation: the pursuit of excellence through personal development 

and teamwork, ethical and responsible behavior on the field and off, 

adherence to the spirit of rules as well as to their letter, leadership 

and strength of character, and sportsmanship – respect for one’s 

opponents, acceptance of victory with humility, and acknowledgement 

of defeat with grace. 

A BROAD CURRICULUM 

Harvard maintains its strong commitment to the undergraduate with 

one of the broadest programs in existence. Students may concentrate 

in any of 48 fields. The majority of courses offered at Harvard have 

fewer than 20 students, and most departments feature a “tutorial” 

system of teaching and learning. 

FACULTY 

Harvard’s faculty is large, diverse, and by any measure, an 

accomplished group of women and men. 

Each faculty member is both a noted teacher and scholar. Harvard 

students learn in classrooms and labs from professors who are leading 

authorities in their fields. In this academic community, all members 

of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, including the most prominent 

scholars, expect to teach undergraduates as well as graduate students. 

Faculty members also instruct students outside the classroom. In 

addition to professors’ weekly office hours, students often spend 

time with their professors before or after class. There are also many 

occasions when professors take meals in Harvard’s residential dining 

halls, attend gatherings in the residences of House Masters, who are 

themselves senior faculty members, and participate in other programs 

and special events. 

Over the course of a year, hundreds of students work closely with 

faculty members on their own or their professors’ research. The 

opportunities for formal and informal relationships with Harvard faculty 

are plentiful and rewarding, resulting in lifelong friendships as well as 

professional collaborations that can enrich students’ lives and careers. 

STUDENT LIFE 

The house system, established in 1930, provides a small college 

atmosphere within the university. Each house has several faculty 

members and a staff of residential tutors associated with it, as well 

as dormitories, dining halls, libraries, intramural athletic teams and a 

number of social events. There are 12 residential houses, while a 13th 

unit, Dudley House, provides a parallel life for the students who live 

off-campus.

2015-16 Year in Review 


The women’s volleyball earned its first trip to the NCAA tournament after capturing its second-consecutive Ivy title. The Crimson took the first set from 

eventual national champion Nebraska in the opening round. 

Harvard is a beacon in the realm of collegiate athletics, 

and for the third-consecutive year, the Crimson captured 

double-digit Ivy League championships with 10. The 

Class of 2016 consistently rewrote the record books, 

collecting 45 All-America honors, 42 Ancient Eight titles, 

and six team and individual national championships in 

addition to receiving numerous all-conference and allacademic 

honors. 

The success began at Harvard Stadium, where the football 

team posted a 9-1 overall record and 6-1 mark against 

conference opponents en route to a program-first third Ivy 

League championship in a row. Senior quarterback Scott 

Hosch was honored with the Asa. S. Bushnell Cup, and the 

program took down archrival Yale for the ninth-straight 

time, 38-19, in the 132nd playing of “The Game.” 

For the second-consecutive season the women’s 

volleyball team ended the season atop the Ivy standings, 

and the team advanced to its first NCAA tournament in 

program history. Going 15-11 overall and 10-4 over the Ivy 

League slate, the Crimson took the first set from No. 4 

Nebraska, 25-22, before falling in four sets to the eventual 

national champion. 

The men’s and women’s soccer programs combined for 

10 Ivy wins, as each team placed second in the conference 

table. The men’s water polo team, meanwhile, eclipsed the 

20-win threshold for the second-straight year, and was 

one of 16 Harvard teams to appear in the national rankings 

over the course of the year. 

Reaching the zenith of their respective sports, the 

Crimson saw both a team and an individual win a 

national championship during the winter season. The 

women’s squash team secured its second-consecutive 

national championship and fourth in the past five years 

after running the table with a perfect 13-0 record. 

Sophomore Alyssa Mehta and freshmen Kayley Leonard 

and Sabrina Sobhy picked up first team All-America 

nods to lead the program. 

On the strip, meanwhile, junior Adrienne Jarocki fenced 

to her second-career NCAA championship in the saber. 

Nearly untouchable, Jarocki was the top seed entering the 

bracket stage with a plus-56 indicator, and she finished 

off her final two opponents with scores of 15-9 and 15- 

10 to earn the crown. The fencing teams combined for 

a quartet of All-America accolades and finished seventh 

overall at the event. 

The Hobey Baker Award made its way to Harvard 

for the fourth time in program history, as men’s hockey 

senior Jimmy Vesey lifted the trophy as the nation’s most 

outstanding player. A two-time All-American, Vesey left 

Harvard as one of only five skaters in program history to 

tally 80 career goals. The men’s hockey program celebrated 

its first Ivy League title since 2006 and advanced to the 

NCAA tournament for the second-consecutive season. 

Elsewhere on the ice, senior Emerance Maschmeyer 

shattered the women’s hockey program record for career 

saves with 2,548 stops, and in the spring was named the 

top goaltender at the IIHF World Championships. On the 

hardwood, the women’s basketball team advanced to

2015-16 Year in Review 


2015-16 At A Glance 

Junior Adrienne Jarocki won her second individual NCAA saber national championship, breezing through 

the round robin stage before picking up 15-9 and 15-10 victories in the final bracket. 

the WNIT after finishing third in the 

Ivy League, while the men’s team 

set a program record for 3-pointers 

made (220) and advanced to the 

championship game at the Diamond 

Head Classic. The women’s swimming 

and diving team picked up its 12th Ivy 

League championship with over 1,500 

points, its third title in the last five years. 

It was a banner season on the track 

for Harvard, as the women’s team swept 

the indoor and outdoor Ivy League 

Championships – its fourth- and thirdstraight, 

respectively. School records fell 

in an astonishing 25 events, including 22 

on the women’s side, while the women’s 

outdoor team became the first Ivy 

League program to earn a top-10 national 

ranking. First team All-America honors 

poured in, as sophomore Courtney 

Smith and junior Nikki Okwelogu 

earned the honor at the NCAA indoor 

championships, and Autumne Franklin, 

Gabrielle Thomas, Paige Kouba and 

Okwelogu garnered the accolade at the 

NCAA outdoor finals. 

The men’s and women’s golf programs 

each raised the trophy as Ancient Eight 

champions, continuing one trend while 

bucking another. The women’s title was 

its fifth in a row, which represents the 

longest-active streak at Harvard and 

longest in Ivy women’s golf history, 

while the men’s team secured its first 

championship since 1975. 

Harvard softball advanced to the 

Ivy League championship series after 

posting a 16-4 mark against conference 

opponents, while the baseball team 

posted its most wins since 2010 (17). The 

women’s lacrosse team advanced to the 

Ivy League tournament for the thirdstraight 

year, while the men’s program 

reached the championship game after 

beating No. 2/2 Brown, 13-12, in the 

semifinals. Men’s volleyball head coach 

Brian Baise notched his 100th-career 

victory as the Crimson went to its fifthconsecutive 

EIVA tournament. 

The Crimson ended the season 

on the water, where a trio of teams 

placed in the top-six at the IRA 

National Championships. The men’s 

varsity heavyweight crew took fifth 

overall, while its second vessel won the 

national title. The men’s lightweight 

boat crossed the finish line for sixth 

place, while the women’s lightweight 

crew medaled for the fifth year 

running, collecting the bronze. The 

men’s heavies swept all three Harvard- 

Yale races run by a cumulative margin 

of over 70 seconds, as the 2V wrapped 

a perfect spring campaign.

GIFT OPPORTUNITIES 

FRIENDS ANNUAL GIVING 

Donations to a Friends group make an immediate and direct impact on each team’s annual budget. Gifts of any amount are encouraged. 

Donations of $5,000+ may be pledged and paid over five years. To contribute to a Friends group, give online through GoCrimson.com/ 

support or mail a check to Friends of (Sport) at 65 North Harvard St., Boston, MA 02163. 

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR’S DISCRETIONARY ENDOWMENT FUNDS 

A minimum gift of $100,000 will establish an Athletic Director’s Discretionary Endowment Fund and help provide flexibility and longterm 

support for our programs. 

ENDOWED ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT POSITIONS 

A gift of $2 million will establish a named head coach endowment. In much the same way that an endowed chair supports a university 

professor, Harvard’s 23 endowed athletic positions provide financial support for the Crimson’s 42 varsity teams and free unrestricted 

funds to benefit the Department and the College as a whole. 

All gifts to Harvard Athletics will receive Class, Reunion, and Campaign Credit 

The Department of Harvard Athletics, the Friends groups and the Harvard Varsity Club encourage all alumni/ae to 

make an additional gift to the Harvard College Fund to support the overall experience for our student-athletes, 

which includes the College’s commitment to financial aid.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR’S DISCRETIONARY ENDOWMENT FUNDS 

The Athletic Department values the flexibility afforded by Athletic Director’s Discretionary Funds. These endowments provide crucial 

support for personnel, recruiting, out-of-region travel, technology, facility enhancements and other programmatic needs that fall outside

FY16 DONOR HONOR ROLL 


The financial support of alumni/ae, parents and friends is essential to Harvard Athletics. On behalf of all Harvard student-athletes and 

coaches, I would like to thank everyone who either donated or pledged $5,000 or more, or who previously established an endowment 

fund that generated current-use income this past fiscal year (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016) to the Department of Athletics, a Friends 

group, the Harvard Varsity Club or a club sport program. Your generosity helps ensure the vitality of our programs and enables us to 

uphold the traditions and ideals of Harvard Athletics. 

- Bob Scalise, John D. Nichols ‘53 Family Director of Athletics

This is Harvard Football 

Tradition 

Harvard boasts one of the oldest and most successful college football 

programs in America, with numerous national and Ivy League 

Championships in its history. Since helping inaugurate intercollegiate 

competition more than 150 years ago, Harvard has become synonymous 

with excellence in athletics and academics. 

Success 

Over the past 18 years, Harvard has won nine Ivy League championships 

(six outright) and had three undefeated seasons while posting 

the Football Championship Subdivision’s highest winning percentage 

during the 2000’s. 

The Crimson has finished with at least seven wins in each of the 

last 15 years, and is the only program in Ivy League history to have a 

stretch of at least eight-straight seven-win seasons. 

Recognition 

Harvard has had at least one All-American in each of the last 17 years. 

The Digits 

Entering 2016, Harvard’s record over the past … 

Five seasons: 45-5 (.900) 

Six seasons: 52-8 (.867) 

Seven seasons: 59-11 (.843) 

Eight seasons: 68-12 (.850) 

Nine seasons: 76-14 (.844) 

10 seasons: 83-17 (.830) 

Playing The Percentages 

Since 2001, Harvard football has boasted the highest national winning 

percentage in the Football Championship Subdivision and second 

highest in all of Division I. Only Boise State has won at a greater 

clip than Tim Murphy’s Crimson, while Ohio State, Oklahoma and 

LSU round out the top five. Since 2009, Harvard has posted 52 wins 

against just eight losses to carry an 86.6 percent winning percentage. 

That mark included a 22-game win streak from 2013-2015, tied for the 

third-longest run in program history. 

Div. I (2001-15) W-L Pct. 

1. Boise State 166-30 .847 

2. Harvard 123-26 .825 

3. Ohio State 150-33 .820 

4. Oklahoma 159-41 .795 

5. LSU 152-43 .779 

6. Montana 151-45 .770 

7. Dayton 126-40 .759 

8. TCU 143-46 .756 

9. Southern California 135-45 .750 

10. Texas 142-51 .736 

Academics 

Harvard is universally regarded as the top academic institution in 

America and also has the highest graduation rate (approximately 98 

percent). Harvard student-athletes pursue a wide range of academic 

courses along with their peers. Over the past seven seasons, the football 

team graduated an award-winning opera singer, Noah Van Niel, 

the FCS ADA Division I Scholar-Athlete of the year, Andrew Berry, who 

graduated with both a bachelor and master’s degree in just four years, 

and a Rhodes Scholar in Zar Zavala. 

Athletic Program 

Harvard fields the largest Division I athletic program in America with 

42 Division I varsity sports. Sports Illustrated placed Harvard in the top 

45 of “America’s Best Division I Sports Colleges,” the only Ivy League 

school to appear in the top 50. 

Facilities 

Harvard’s football facilities are as thorough and impressive as any 

in the nation. Stately Harvard Stadium received new FieldTurf playing 

surface in 2015, as well as a state-of-the-art lighting system, a video 

board, sound system and a removable all-weather bubble. Harvard 

also boasts a pro-style football locker room and a strength and conditioning 

complex that is second to none in college football. 

Harvard Stadium is one of only three college football venues recognized 

as a National Historic Landmark. 

Diversity 

Harvard students are regular kids, who come from all corners of the 

country. With its diverse student body and metropolitan environment, 

Black Enterprise ranks Harvard as one of the nation’s top colleges and 

universities for African-Americans. 

NFL 

Over the past 16 years, Harvard has seen 28 players move on to professional 

careers. Harvard has had more players sign NFL contracts 

than any program in the Ivies in the past 16 years. Just recently Ryan 

Fitzpatrick ’04 became one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the 

NFL and Matt Birk ’98 was named NFL Man of the Year. This year, 

Cole Toner ’16 was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by the 

Arizona Cardinals. 

Boston/Cambridge 

Boston is an unrivaled “College Town” with more colleges and universities 

than any metro area. The Sporting News dubbed Boston the 

nation’s best sports town in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2007. It was ranked 

second in 2010, 2011 and third in 2009. 

Offense 

Harvard runs a system that has smashed numerous school and Ivy 

League records and annually ranks among the top-performing units in 

the nation. During the 2012 campaign, Harvard established the-then 

Ivy League record, averaging 39.4 points per game for the season. 

In 2015, Harvard tallied 36.4 points per game, tops in the Ivy League. 

Dating back to the start of the 2003 season, Harvard is 88-4 when 

leading at halftime. 

Defense 

Harvard employs an attack style of defense that helped the Crimson 

rank second in the nation last season, allowing just 13.0 points per 

game. 

Tim Murphy 

Coach Tim Murphy has demonstrated leadership and success, winning 

championships as head coach at Maine, Cincinnati, and, for the 

past 22 seasons, at Harvard. Every four-year player that Coach Murphy 

has recruited to Harvard has played on an Ivy championship team. 

The Game 

The Harvard-Yale Game stands as one of the top rivalries in all of 

college football with the excitement and pageantry to go with it. This 

is, by far, the biggest game with the largest crowd in the Ivy League. 

ESPN’s College GameDay took notice in 2014, hosting the Emmy 

Award-winning preview show in front of Dillon Fieldhouse.

MAKING THE FUTURE. 

AROUND THE CORNER. 

ON WESTERN AVENUE, JUST ONE BLOCK FROM 

where you sit today, Harvard is building a workshop 

to fuel the ideas of tomorrow. Part design center, 

part fabrication lab, Harvard’s new Maker Space in 

the Science and Engineering Complex will serve 

as a vibrant hub of invention and imagination for 

the entire Harvard community. 

It will be a place to explore new possibilities, design 

new products, and work across disciplines. Outfitted 

for woodworking, plastic casting, metal brazing and 

soldering, 3D printing, and more, the Maker Space 

will serve as a communal, state-of-the-art studio for 

builders — students and faculty — from every Harvard 

school. This unique space, the only one of its kind 

at Harvard, will sit within 600 feet of Harvard’s three 

Innovation Labs—the i-lab, the Launch Lab, and 

the Life Lab — which together have incubated more 

than 650 student, faculty, and alumni ventures since 

2012. When it opens its doors in 2020, the Maker
