...punt off a low snap erased all the Bruins' good fortune. With possession at the Brown 47, the Green Machine gave Dufresne the ball on third-and-one, and the halfback blasted into the endzone...
Then teammate Bob Krystnik raced to the scene, grabbed the ball while the stunned Princeton safetyman watched, and galloped 30 yards into the endzone for the game's big score...
Fourth Quarter: Harvard's offense never got the ball in Penn territory while the Harvard defense stopped Penn drives of 5, 9 and 17 plays, two on fourth-down attempts, the third on second-and-goal as time ran out.
