...stop a squad of fleet backs and the deadeye passing of Cornell Quarterback Rocco Calvo, whose 61% completion record was the nation's best. Cornell, ranked No. 12, had a theoretically easier job: to concentrate on one man. But the man was triple-threat Dick Kazmaier, an All-America back last year and a veteran of Princeton's 1950 championship team...
...most versatile exhibitions of passing, running, blocking and kicking ever seen, Kazmaier put on a dazzling one-man show that turned a tight first-half game into a second-half rout. He threw 17 passes, all on the run, and completed an astonishing 15 for a total of 236 yards. He carried the ball 18 times and averaged 7 yards a crack.

And, when the devastating Princeton offense was slowed...
Stress in the practice was placed on a half-hour defensive scrimmage, with freshmen running Tiger plays against a tentative first defense.

Defensive standouts: Guard Brad Glass and 60-minute End Frank McPhee. Princeton now has the longest major winning streak in the nation (16 straight), and only Cornell stands in the way of its second straight Ivy League title...
