...with the wind at its back. The choice paid off within three minutes, as the Crimson was forced to punt and Bruce McIntyre's weak kick, held up by the wind, traveled only six yards. On the Elis first play from scrimmage, quarterback Tom Singleton faked to fullback Bob Blanchard and handed to halfback Ken Wolfe, who went 41 yards for a touchdown behind blocks from Mike Pyle, Ben Balme, and John Hutcherson...
...Blanchard went over from one foot out at 11:56 of the third quarter, after Singleton had intercepted a Ravenel pass and returned it to the Harvard...
...Blanchard and Hard find the going rough, Singleton will take the ball for himself. And he has a right to. In his last home game last week, the 6'1" 200 pound senior played his best game ever, and earned the distinction of Ivy back of the week.

Last week he booted one time for 39 yards-the average distance for the 29 Yale punts this year. (The Crimson has punted 48 times for an average age of 35.5 yards). Two times week's game Will centered the to Singleton quite high, forcing quarterback to run. Once he saved by a Princeton off-side the other time he took off tackled 24 yards and a first latter...
