...Princeton side of the stadium, the cheerleaders' megaphones bellowed. As the half ended, the Princeton stands rose, applauding. They were mostly applauding No. 42-Halfback Dick Kazmaier...
Before the afternoon was out, they had even more cause to cheer. Thanks mainly to Kazmaier's passing (for 222 yards-12 out of 16 completed, for three touchdowns), Harvard went down to its worst defeat ever inflicted by a Princeton team: 54 to 13. Princeton had broken its old record of 19 straight games, and stretched the nation's longest winning streak to 20 games. With two more to go (Yale and Dartmouth), Kazmaier has already gained 1,470 yards running and passing this year, is topped nationally only by Drake's Johnny Bright (see PEOPLE...

...unbeaten Tigers win--and they're favored by 21 points--it will mark the first time any team has captured the coveted Big Three title five years in succession. And if Dick Kazmaier gains more than 223 yards on the ground and by passing, he will surpass the eastern record figure of 1,693 yards for a season, set last year by Ted Marchibroda of St. Bonaventura...
