...Harvard running attack was also boosted by the two-tight-end offense the Multiflex ran out of for much of the game. Callinan, who had his best day rushing since he gained 205 yards on 16 carries during his senior year at St. Ignatius High in Cleveland, was the workhorse of the drives that put Harvard back in the game in the fourth quarter, carrying 13 times for 76 yards.

Sure, some good things happened Saturday, like Jim Callinan's 190 yards on 34 carries for the second-best rushing day in Harvard history, or Tiger Bob Holly's 24 completions for 278 yards and two touch-downs or Princeton scatback Larry Van Pelt's 99 yards on the ground at the Stadium before...
