...campaigns, Dayan's Sinai triumph rested heavily on surprise. "Nasser disposed his troops very well," said an Israeli colonel. "Egyptian preparations were quite logical. Our plans were not." But more than anything else, the Israelis, inferior to the Egyptians in number and equipment, relied on the kind of dashing, hard-driving tactics with which George Patton confounded the Germans in his 1944 armored dash across Europe. Israeli units which outran their supply continued to push forward as long as they had ammunition, and at least one battalion fought for two days without food...

Marlow's score came early in the first quarter on a 22-yard sweep around end. A few plays later, Maye evened the score on a four-yard dash.

...Harvard attack stalled on the next series of downs, and Columbia tied the game by going 55 yards in eight plays. Spraker made a fine run with a short pass from Benham, gaining 24 yards, and then tallied on a 13-yard dash over left end. Benham had lateraled to him, then blocked Botsford on the three to put him across. The half ended...
