Harvard Football is alive and well!

You can not find a finer book which exemplifies what American football is all about. The grit, drive, and determination of the Harvard Crimson, who play the game, not for money, or recognition, but for the love of the game. I love this book and recommend it to all sports fans and football fans alike. FIVE STARS! Great information amidst all of the awesome historical and modern football photos. And how can you not love a team that had actor Tommy Lee Jones as an All American offensive guard! Great photo of Tommy Lee Jones in his Harvard Crimson uniform. Buy this book today!Dave in N.E.
