Underdog Harvard won revenge for four straight defeats by Yale (including last year's, when Yale scored its final point on an after-touchdown pass to the student manager) by outdriving the heavier Yale line, bottling the Yale backfield to win 13 to 0. Michigan State won its way to the Rose Bowl after beating Marquette 21 to 15. U.C.L.A. won the other Rose Bowl ticket by beating Southern California 13 to 0. Back East, undefeated University of Maryland, closer than ever to the top U.S. rating, breezed through Alabama...
...were a great fullback today, John," Lloyd Jordan told him after the Yale game, and this has been true of Culver all season, both on defense and offense. There was no one man in the Harvard backfield this season; one of the four men was a very fast, very powerful fullback, who doubled as an alert, hard tackling halfback on defense. Mathematically, he was not a 60 minute fullback. But ask some opposing halfbacks if he was really trying in there on defense. And as for offense, well, just look at the picture...
...talent that Yale would put into the field, though with Ed Molloy and Jim Lopez passing to the first string ends, the Elis would certainly be dangerous. Harvard, of course, would field a team of stars. Hardy, Lowenstein, and Clasby would take their usual places in the backfield, and Coolidge would anchor the line. Cowles could be shifted to one end position; and there is, I believe, another eligible lineman to hold down the other...
...good Harvard backfield, but it was a great Harvard line. Against practically the same forward wall which a year ago had pushed the Crimson all over the field, the varsity line today held Yale's numbers to a mere 69 yards rushing, and stopped the Elis dead on their one big chance...
Carroll Lowenstein played his last game today, and this had been a tough season for a fine passer. Injuries, defensive weaknesses, and the difficulty of working in the same backfield with Clasby, had slowed down Lowenstein this year and had prevented him from throwing touchdown passes more than any defensive backfield could have. Lowenstein was a one platoon player in a two platoon game, a T formation passer in a single wing backfield, yet he was always an offensive threat and a credit to Harvard football.CRIMSONStephen S.
