Except for the Eliot squad, which lost to Pierson-Davenport, 24-12, the other Crimson squads all downed their Eli opponents. True to form, Kirkland House took a hard-fought 14-6 decision from Jonathan Edwards-Branford. After falling behind 6-0 on a touchdown, 30 seconds before halftime, K-House roared back when fullback John Gilles ran for a touchdown in the third quarter. The clincher was a 60-yd, return of an interception by Howard Needle, which saved the day for Publoball...
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...
...when the Eli defensive unit takes to the field, run your eyes along the line until you come to the right end, Fred Leone (92). The team captain, Leone is actually a linebacker in the Yale defensive formation, but may line up in any number of different sets.

It's important for each to know where Leone is, however--he's the one the Eli defense turns to for the big play in crucial situations...
Last season he became only the third Eli back to break the 1000-yd. barrier, rushing for 1074 in ten games. In addition, he ranked second in the nation in all-purpose running (which includes returns) with an average of 174.9 yards per game. This year, Diana has been even more impressive. He's already broken the Yale records for carries (265) and yards gained (1355) and has scored 13 touchdowns--all in nine games. Last weekend during the loss to Princeton, Diana carried 46 times for 222 yards and three TDs. That's a pretty tough day, even...
...Rogan-Grieve combination--probably the most feared in the Ivies--is the main reason for a more balanced Eli offense. Rogan has thrown 176 times and completed 90 (51 per cent) for 1041 yards and ten touchdowns. Grieve has caught 47 passes, for 701 yards (15.1 average) and ten TDs. The fact that they have been a team for two seasons now has only served to increase their ability to pierce opposing defenses for big gains...
