Tommy Lee Jones was a tackle on the Harvard team. His roommate was Al Gore. W. Bush’s roommate was on the Yale team and was dating Meryl Streep. Trudeau was publishing Doonsberry in the Yale paper. “D. B.” is inspired by the Yale QB.

Yale had Calvin Hill (father of Grant Hill) who would end up playing in the NFL. Yale was poetry in motion while the Harvard team was fractured about Vietnam. They had a Marine Vietnam vet and anti-war people in the same locker room. Harvard was eeking out victories- the paper had a headline from another game that was something like “Somehow Harvard wins again”.
