Both teams opened the second half seeking to establish some kind of running attack after rushing for a total of 88 yards in the first stanza, but both were initially unsuccessful. After three Diana carries, Tony Jones punted to Rocky Delgadillo at midfield, but two Callinan attempts and a Callinan-to-Scott McCabe reverse were equally inefficient, and the gridders punted back four minutes into the half...
This time Callinan found running room, ambling nine yards up the right side then picking up a first down up the middle. He tumbled to the Yale 41 off right tackle, but two plays later Eli noseguard Kevin Debasitis tipped a Cuccia pass high in the air. Eli linebacker Jay Snyder intercepted the ball near the sideline handing Harvard its fourth turnover of the afternoon. The Crimson line held again, and Jones drove Delgadillo back to its own 14 with a booming punt and a valiant effort on the return advanced it to the 17. Two Cuccia carries produced...
With a note of desperation in the are, Callinan struggled for four yards, but Allard threw low to Cuccia. On a third and four, Cuccia faked the quarterback-in-motion, took the snap from center and tried to sneak for the first down. His attempt failed, and Villanueva punted again, this time a bounder that settled on the Yale...
...Game should be decided by one of the following players: Harvard's Ron Cuccia. Don Allard, Jim Callinan, Jim Villanueva, Joe Azelby or Rocky Delgadillo; or Yale's Rich Diana, John Rogan, Curtis Grieve, or Fred Leone. They are The Players of The Hour, and one of them should make The Play that decides The Game...
Which is not good news for fullback Callinan, who broke the Harvard record for most yards in a season last week against Penn--he now has 994--and is looking to break the thousand-yard barrier on his first carry from serimmage. Callinan has had rushing games of 190 yards (against Princeton) and 188 yards (in two and a half quarters against Penn), but he will have a much tougher time with the stingy Eli defense, if he doesn't establish himself early, then Harvard will have to go to the air, something they haven't had success with...
