Despite limiting the nation's fifth-leading rusher, Rich Diana, to under 100 yards and moving the ball on the vaunted Eli defense, Harvard was unable to score on Yale for the second consecutive year. The bulldogs punched over 14 points in a span of 79 seconds early in the game and held on to beat the gridders for the 54th time in the 98-year history of The Game (eight games have been tied...
Yale bolted to a 14-0 lead in the game's first 16 minutes, scoring on a 32-yard John Rogan swing pass to Rich Diana at 14:21 of the first quarter.

Earlier, Harvard had penetrated to the Yale 48 on five running plays spanning 22 yards before Callinan fumbled and Bulldog Greg Burkus recovered at midfield to douse the threat. The teams traded punts before Yale drove 46 yards in five plays, ending in the Rogan-to-Diana connection in a third-and-13 situation...

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.
