Gatto Will Address Elis At Yale Football Dinner

By Thomas P. Southwick

Vic Gatto, the pint-sized captainelect of the Harvard varsity football team, will take a verbal shot at the Yale varsity football team Monday at Woolsey Hall in New Haven.

Gatto will be one of the featured speakers at the victory dinner for Yale's 1967 Ivy League championship squad. The open, friendly young half-back now stands fourth on Harvard's all time rushing list and has a good shot at overtaking the leader. Dick Clasby, next year.

Riverboat Gambler

The appearance of a Harvard man to honor Yale players at a victory dinner is not without precedent. In 1960 Harvard quarterback Charley Ravenel, "the riverboat gambler," softened Eli hearts with his talk.

Gatto will be the only non-Eli speaking at the dinner. Joining him on the podium will be Charles O'Hearn, representing the undefeated Yale team of 1923: Danny McGill, halfback on the 1956 club, and Mike Pyle, captain of the undefeated 1960 squad who is now captain of the Chicago Bears.
