...talk about the great play of the Eli defensive unit. Led by team captain and right end Fred Leone and the rest of the boys on the front line--who hassled Cuccia-Allard all game long, who held fullback Jim Callinan, averaging 5.3 yards a carry this season going into the Bowl, to just 60 yards on 21 carries--the Elis stalled an inept Multiflex. It was the same story, only twice as bad as last year, when the Elis completely locked out the Harvard strike force, 14-0, in the Stadium...
...other Ivy action. Princeton, with 385 total yards, smashed Cornell, 37-14. Fullback Larry Van Pelt scrambled for 118 Yards and two touchdowns and snatched a 12-yd. TD aerial from signal-caller Brent Woods to lead the Tiger blitz...
Moments later, Landry headed a Deb Field corner kick toward the Aggie goal line, where A&M netminder Graylyn Boyd pounced on the ball.

...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.

The clincher was a 60-yd, return of an interception by Howard Needle, which saved the day for Publoball...

Callinan has had rushing games of 190 yards (against Princeton) and 188 yards (in two and a half quarters against Penn), but he will have a much tougher time with the stingy Eli defense, if he doesn't establish himself early, then Harvard will have to go to the air, something they haven't had success with...
