Based on the critically acclaimed documentary, Harvard Beats
Yale 29-29 tells the story of the most famous college football game
in history
Harvard Stadium, November 23, 1968: For the first time since
1909, the football teams of Harvard and Yale are undefeated as they
meet for their final game. Yale, led by captain and quarterback
Brian Dowling (later satirized as B.D. in classmate Garry
Trudeau?’s Doonesbury comic strip) is heavily favored. The underdog
team from Harvard includes lineman Tommy Lee Jones?—Al Gore?’s
roommate and future Hollywood star. What follows is widely regarded
as among the best games of all time.
First came Rafferty?’s documentary of the game, which Newsday
called ?“A nail-biting sports story,?” and Time Out New York deemed
?“close to perfect.?” Now, in this compelling and unique new book,
Rafferty intercuts photos of the game and Trudeau?’s original
drawings with the hilarious and suspenseful recollections of the
fifty players to create a stunning account of one of the most
famous games of all time.
