That Interference Call

There is one blemish on the name of Harvard that must be cleared. As the picture so clearly shows, the call of pass Interference on JERRY MECHLING (24) against SCOTT CREELMAN (88) in quite unjustified. Jerry, as any ref could plainly see, was at least a foot in front of the hapless Creelman, who shows no signs of being hit by Mechling or the football. The pass came in the fourth quarter in Dartmouth's last successful touchdown drive; the interference call brought the ball to Harvard's one-yard line, where Dartmouth scored three plays later.
