Featured '-'ill be several wor\ A-B ne-woman shOH' enJoys • a day at Harvard By Chris Orchard CORRESPONDENT On Saturday, good weather encouraged hundreds of Allston Brighton residents to attend the 15th annual Allston-Brighton Day football game at Harvard Stadium, where Harvard sound ly defeated Northeastern. Every year since 1989, Har vard has invited its Allston Brighton neighbors to attend a football game and lunch. At this year's event, the tent overflowed with people, and sandwiches ran out before kickoff. It's the first year such a thing has happened, said Kevin McCluskey, Har vard's director of community re lations, who was concerned that some people didn't get lunch. He suspected that good weather and the local sports cli mate (with the Red Sox playing the Yankees later that night) con tributed to the increased num bers of people. About 500 All ston-Brighton residents and guests attended this year. By now, after 15 years of holding the event, people have begun to count on it. "People sort of have it in their regular social events," said Mc Cluskey. "It's a nice way to wel come the community out to the campus and just have an enjoy able family day." Among those in attendance this year was the Brighton High School football team. "We try not to have a game on the Allston-Brighton day," said Timo Philip, the team's coach. It's good to take the high school players to the Allston-Brighton Day game because it's free, and because they get to see what it's like playing at the next level. be said. Two Brighton High football players, Troy Harding and Ramon Gonzalez, were excited to be at the game. "I watch the guys who play my position - see what kind of moves they do - watch how they set up," said Harding, a ju nior guard and tackle. Gonzalez, a junior fullback and defensive tackle, looked for ward to the game for the same reason, and also because he's be ginning to look at colleges. While Harding was rooting for Harvard, Gonzalez chose Northeastern. The Allston Brighton community attending the game was di'vided over which team to route for. While some had undergraduate .or graduate school experience with either institution, some chose sides based on lesser affiliations. When asked which team he would root for, 7-year-old Jake said, "I can't pronounce it." When questioned further, he said the school's name begins with "H," he then agreed that said school was Harvard. State Rep. Kevin Honan said he was rooting for Harvard be cause he has a master's degree from the JFK School of Govern ment. "I always come to Allston Brighton Day to meet all my neighbors. The event gets bigger every year," he said. State Sen. Steven Tolman, in the midst of a political cam paign, was more careful about picking sides. "It's like going into a voting booth,.. he joked, "you never say. Harvard University and Northeastern both kind of bor der my district, so I have to be very cautious in how I decide that." The number of people in at tendance "shows that the interest in this day is certainly growing. It's a beautiful fall day for a foot ball game as well," he said. For those rooting for North Home Furnishings eastern, it was a disappointing Antiques • Reproductions • Rare Finds • Fine Furnishings day, however. After a close first quarter, Harvard began to pull away from Northeastern before 1)e\1qb.tfuUy unexpe.ctecl/ halftime, and scored 17 unan swered points in the third quar ter, to win the game, 41-14.
