...whole first half did a Notre Dame running play fail to gain. First it was Halfback Nick Eddy, spinning off tackle on the second play from scrimmage, racing 61 yds. for a TD?while Coach Parseghian matched him step for step, shouting "Go! Go! Go!" Then it was Fullback Joe Farrell, cracking the Spartan line on three straight plays for 15 yds. On the fourth play, he faked a line buck and zigzagged downfield to take a pass from Quarterback John Huarte. That put the ball on the Michigan State eight. Another Farrell fake, another Huarte pass?touchdown...
...massive (219 lbs. per man) Notre Dame line ripped gaping holes in the Spartan forward wall, gave Quarterback Huarte so much protection that he could have tied his shoe laces and still had time to pass. A screen to End Jack Snow gained 19 yds., a flare to Fullback Bob Merkle picked up 26. Then he turned Nick Eddy loose. In five carries, the 195-lb. halfback racked up 40 yds. and his second TD of the day. A pass to Snow was good for two extra points, and Notre Dame led at half time...

Harvard had dominated the first half in everything except scoring. For the first time since the Bucknell game, the Crimson put together long marches, the best of them an 89-yarder that accounted for the first touchdown. Never gaining more than nine yards in a play, quarterback John McCluskey, fullback Stan Yastrzemski, and Pat Conway, a half-back for the first time in his varsity career, chewed off the distance in four-yard plunges. They got immmeasurable help from a fourth-down penalty on Brown after the Bruins forced Harvard to kick. McCluskey set up the score with a nine...
...Dunda took over puncturing the Harvard pass defense as everyone had been afraid he would. From his own 42 he tossed 19 yards to Rich O'Toole, then, from the 38, sent his ends long and fired a shot pass to fullback John Kelly, cuting over the middle on a delay pattern. Yastrzemski, not exactly a Bob Hayes type, was guarding Kelly on the play and the Bruin back outlegged Yaz for a socre...
