...fullback Phil Taylor took a pass from quarterback Dave McKelvey, got past two Harvard defenders, and scored on a 76-yard touchdown play that put the Big Red ahead for the first time all afternoon, 18 to 16. It hardly mattered that McKelvey passed to John Sadusky in the end zone for two more points; the varsity had lost after building up a seemingly insurmountable lead. The defeat, shocking and demoralizing in its suddenness, had a profound effect on players, coaches, and spectators that did not disappear for a long time...

Quarterback Charlie Ravenel bounced a pass off end Hank Keohane's chest and into the hands of center Pete Eliades on the Lion one-foot line to set up the first score. Ravenel tallied first, followed by Tom Lawson, Albie Cullen...
