An Era Ends; Bunnies Fall In 19-0 Game

The woeful strains of 'Nowhere Man" wafted through the halls of Leverett House as quarterback-coach Pete Karegeannes, a little pinked from the day's adventures, recapitulated the debacle.

The Leverett House Bunnies, the Green Bay Packers of Harvard house football, undefeated in three years, were humbled by the Kirkland eleven yesterday, 19-0.

"We just were not ready to play that good a football team," Karegeannes moaned. "Their quarterback played an excellent game; he made every third down play, even when it was third and twenty."

Kirkland dominated the action from the beginning. Their pet play was an end sweep, much like the standard single wing sweep, and they played excellent ball control football.

They scored twice on passes and once on a sweep. Their second touchdown drive started on their own ten yard line and consumed the entire third quarter. Moving relentlessly down the field, the drive culminated with a ten yard hook pass in the end zone.

The poor Bunnies never had much of a chance. Their line was consistently over-whelmed by the Kirkland animals so that Karageannes only completed one out of the five passes that he attempted. Leverett ran 15 offensive plays during the entire game.

Winthrop was the last house to defeat Leverett; they beat the Bunnies in a tight game in 1964.
