Cornell's Last Chance. Princeton's first score came on a sustained drive of 72 yards in twelve plays, three of them bull's-eye passes by Kazmaier. Cornell bounced right back with a 34-yard touchdown pass by Calvo. But the score was Cornell's last real chance to stay in the game...
...Kazmaier took complete charge and set up two more touchdowns with five more pass completions in a row. The score at half time: 20-6. In the second half, while Princeton's hard-charging defensive line smothered the Cornell backs, the Tiger single-wing offensive burst the Cornell team wide open. The final score: 53-15, for Princeton's 18th straight victory, and the longest major winning streak in the nation. Said Cornell Coach Lefty James: "Kazmaier is the greatest back I've seen since I've been coaching football. I think...
Princeton's Specialty. Princeton Coach Charley Caldwell, 1950 coach-of-the-year and likely to be the coach of 1951, is frank to admit that, as a 155-lb. freshman, Kazmaier simply looked too frail to stand the gaff of big-time football. (Last week, a senior, he weighed 171.) "But," says Caldwell, "I never saw a player of such intensity, with such determination for perfection. He drives himself so hard that he carries the rest of the team with...
Even on the practice field, with nothing at stake, Kazmaier frets & fumes during the ten minutes of each session devoted entirely to the Kazmaier specialty, the running pass. Just last week, barely overshooting his targets, Kazmaier complained to Caldwell: "Gee, I can't do anything right." Before a game, says Caldwell, "Dick gets so wound up that we never let him handle the ball on the first play from scrimmage-and all the scouts know...
Caldwell's Mistake. But what the scouts were not prepared for was a new Princeton play, built around Kazmaier, and designed especially for the Cornell game. In Caldwell's balanced-line, single-wing formation, Dick is always given an option on his running-pass play. If the receivers are blanketed by the defense, Kazmaier, already on the dead run, can keep right on going. The ability to pass on the run-and few passers have i-makes Kazmaier even tougher to stop than the ordinary player. For Cornell, Caldwell designed something tougher still...
