Saturday's game was supposed to be a high-scoring affair, pitting Crimson quarterback Jim Stoeckel's passing and coach Joe Restic's balanced attack against the Tigers' Hank Bjorklund and coach Jake McCandless's equally balanced offense. Instead, each team turned the ball over six times and turned the game into a comedy of errors...
However, Princeton discovered a more consistent quarterback in sophomore Jim Flynn, who has marched the Tigers up and down the field in the last three games.

Princeton rested senior runner Hank Bjorklund, the school's leading ground gainer, against Brown, but sophomore Walt Snickenberger, starting his first varsity game, piled up 103 yards on 15 carries and scored two touchdowns before retiring early in the third period...
...Hank Bjorklund, another of the Ivy's stock of fine running backs, had a big afternoon Saturday, as Princeton ripped Penn, 31-0.
