...first place, the Crimson interior linemen will have to stop fullback Bob Blanchard and his impressive understudy, Ted Hard, who, along with a powerful line, have given Yale its reputation as a bread-and-butter "grind-it-out-up-the-middle" team. Blanchard and Hard, who get the ball at least 60 per cent of the time, usually hit to the left of center Hardy Will, over guard Ben Balme and tackle Mike Pyle, standout linemen. The play usually goes for about five yards...
Quarterback Tom Singleton showed the Crimson scouts and everybody else Saturday that Yale must be reckoned with on more than just line plunges, however. Opening the game with the expected hand-offs to Blanchard--occasionally on quick counts that caught Princeton off guard--the 6 ft., 1 in., 200 pound senior in the second quarter took advantage of the tightened Tiger defense, which had adjusted to stop bull Blanehard...
With a third and five situation on the Princeton 48, when Blanchard off tackle would have been the most likely call, Singleton put the ball is Blanchard's gut as the fullback smashed over right tackle. Just when everybody--including the Princeton defenders -- thought "there goes Blanchard," Singleton pulled the ball out, stepped back, and threw to his right halfback Wolfe, who had had no trouble sneaking down the right side of the field behind Kornrumpf. The pass went 33 yards: Wolfe could have walked the last five. Singleton then passed to Muller for the extra points. Halftime score: Yale...
...opening series of plays in the third period, Singleton decided to try the same belly-pass play. After working up to the Princeton 43, with first and ten, Singleton bellied to Blanchard off right tackle and threw 23 yards to the lone Wolfe, who made up the distance untouched. Blanchard drove over for the extra points...
...thrilling roll-out run to the right which moved the ball from the Princeton 30 to the five. On that play he should have been tackled four times before he was finally brought down. He hadn't forgotten about the end run. Nor had he forgotten about Blanchard: Blanchard took the ball over from the 2, two plays later...
