Hello again Harvard Football alums, Friends and fans, On behalf of the Friends of Harvard Football, I'd like to wish you happy holidays. The Friends would like to formally congratulate captain Dante Balestracci '04 on the continuing wave of awards he's received since the season ended. Just this past Monday, he was named a Second Team All-American by The Sports Network. (Check the football section of the department website --- www.gocrimson.com -- for a complete list of football awards/notes). Specifically, we'd like to inform you of the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston Dinner taking place on Friday, January 9th, when Dante will be presented with the George H. "Bulger" Lowe Award as the top defensive player in New England. Boston College running back Derrick Knight will receive the top offensive player award, and former Holy Cross Head Coach Dan Allen will be presented with a lifetime contribution to football award. The dinner will take place at the Sheraton Needham, 6 p.m. social hour and 7 p.m. dinner, at a cost of $50 per ticket ($500 per table of 10). If you would like to attend the dinner to show your support, you can RSVP via the ticket order form at www.gridclubofgreaterboston.com and ask that you be seated with other Harvard attendees. Also ... if you're still looking for one last holiday present ... we still have a limited supply of game-worn Harvard Football jerseys in stock here in the Varsity Club (compliments of the Equipment Room this past summer). The jerseys sell for $25 (plus shipping and handling) and all proceeds benefit the Friends of Harvard Football.

Hello again Harvard Football alums, Friends and fans, As the NFL season heats up heading into Week #15, we just wanted to let you know that Carl Morris '03 signed on with the practice squad of the Miami Dolphins yesterday. Thanks for your continued support of Harvard Football! http://www.miamidolphins.com/home/home_index.asp (Carl's photo is included in the online story) Dolphins Make Practice Squad Transaction December 10, 2003 The Miami Dolphins today released center Ben Claxton off the practice squad and signed wide receiver Carl Morris to take his spot. Morris, 22, went to camp with Indianapolis this year as an undrafted college free agent before being waived on August 12. He was claimed by Philadelphia and then released by the Eagles on August 25. The 6-3, 213-pound Morris finished his four-year career at Harvard as the school's all-time leading receiver with 245 catches for 3,488 yards and 28 touchdowns.

He was both a first-team All-Ivy League selection and the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year in each of his final two years. Morris attended Episcopal High School in Sterling, Virginia.
