Clasby Plugs Crimson In Sat Eve Post Story

Dick Clasby, the 1953 varsity football captain, tells why he chose Harvard over the many football schools bidding for his services in an article entitled, "I'll Take Harvard Football," in this week's Saturday Evening Post.

Absence of the pressure applied by coaches and alumni at high-pressure football schools and the emphasis of studies rather than athletics at "low-pressure" Harvard were strong influencing factors in Clasby's choice. "At high pressure schools they drop a man from scholarship when he doesn't do well in football. Here, Harvard was proposing that I drop football because I wasn't doing well in scholarship."
