What made the difference against Brandeis was what was missing in the booters' 5-0 loss to defending Ivy champ Columbia last week enough control of the midfield to carry out a sustained attack.
As an indication of the booters' control, Harvard scored in bunches, scoring and then striking again while Brandeis was a little to frantic to equalize.
With 16 minutes left in the first half, sophomore forward John Catliffe found a misplayed Judge clearance on his right foot, and after dribbling around Brandeis goal-keeper Jim Leahy, connected for his third goal of the season.
But Mother Nature had a small hand in Harvard's scoring, with the wind turning the northernmost goal into a vacuum. When Brandeis switched ends at the half, the Judges got a few gusts of their own.
Brandeis tallied again when McCully ran in unmarked on a Greg Allen comer kick and converted on a header at 66:57.
