Bio on Callinan:
In 1979 James had a record-setting season. He rushed for 190 yards on 34
carries vs. Princeton, and 88 yards on 15 carries against Penn. Also
against Penn he caught six passes for 86 yards and had a 66-yd. touchdown
run that broke Dick Clasby's 30-year single season rushing mark. In 1981
he became Harvard's first 1,000-yard running back, finishing his career
with 1,054 yards. He set a single-season rushing record with 209 carries
and 1,054 yards. He still holds Harvard records for single game rushing,
(seventh with 34 carries and 190 yards against Princeton in 1981 and eighth
with 15 carries, 188 yards and three touchdowns against Penn in 1981) and
single-season rushing (third with 209 carries, 1,054 yards and nine
touchdowns in 1981). Against Yale in 1979 James emerged as "the hero"
according to Crimson in Triumph. In a game where Harvard was the underdog,
the Crimson triumphed to a 22-7 win. Harvard rushed for 64 yards on the
opening 17-play, 74-yard touchdown drive. Callinan gained most of those
yards and also caught a 23-yard touchdown pass.
