With at least three players whom Crimson coach John Yovicsin calls "among the best in the East," the Bruins have perhaps the most unheralded collection of talent in the Ivy League. Quarterback Frank Finney is the league's leading passer (outshining even Cornell's Tom Skypeck last week) and a good runner as well. Don Warburton--captain, center, and linebacker--is Brown's mainstay on defense, and 205-1b.

A timely block took care of one potential Crimson tackler, and McTigue eluded another with a dramatic leap into the air. All-in-all the play covered 47 yards...
