Harvard couldn't get the first down, even with the 15 yards, so Reynolds punted. The Crusaders couldn't move either, and with fourth and 23, they prepared to punt it back, but six Crimson helmets converged on punter John Leonard to block the kick, and Harvard took over just 30 yards from a score...
...money for his venture comes from many of the same sources that funded the Goldwater campaign: rubber magnate Leonard K. Firestone, Schick Razor president Patrick J. Frawley, former CIA chief John McCone (now a millionaire San Marino resident), and Henry Salvatori, co-chairman of Reagan's finance committee and member of Project Alert and the Anti-Communist Voters League.
