Halfback Wayne Moore got the drive started with an 18-yd, jaunt around right end which only foreshadowed what turned out to be by far the best day of his Harvard career (97 yards on the surprisingly low total of five carries). With the ball on Harvard's 35, Brown then hit tight end Paul Sablock all alone on a crossing pattern to bring the ball into Columbia territory...
