...kickoff which followed, Hank Hatch--appearing in his first game after a long bout with mononucleosis--took the ball on the 12 yard line, bounced off one defender, took off to his left, got a great block from Bill Grana, and sprinted to the Columbia 22 in a thrilling 66-yarder broken up by O'Connor. Hatch, who is usually one of Harvard's fastest men, ran out of gas. "If he had been in shape, he would have scored," Yovicsin said...
