"A lot of people think that we just run around and try to pass the frisbee, but there's a lot more to it," Co-captain Enver Kasimir says.

Most teams run a variety of offenses. While Harvard normally relies on short passes from a stack formation, the team always has to be ready for unusual attacks.

"On defense, we might vary our patterns according to the wind. Usually we play man-to-man, but sometimes we use the zone," sophomore Jon Katzman said.

Fall Schedule Underway

Harvard has already begun its fall schedule.

In addition to scrimmages against BC and Tufts, Harvard reached the quarterfinals at a tournament at Williams College two weekends ago.

In a preliminary round of the Williams tournament, the Crimson defeated the Yale Bulldogs, 13-11, after rallying from a 9-5 deficit.

"That was a nice win, but it doesn't mean much now," Berzofsky says. "We just have to concentrate on improving."

The good thing about the fall season, Kasimir says, has been its solidifying effect on the team.

"We've been able to establish a good ethic and get people more familiar with each other."

The season continues this Sunday with another tournament near Portland, ME.

"The tournament is a club team sectional, so it doesn't really count for us, but it will be a good chance to test ourselves against more experienced clubs," Norcott says.

"Hopefully, we can use the current period as a springboard to the future, and have some fun while we're at it."
