After Harvard's 75 yd. march went for naught, Princeton took over at its own 20 and went 80 yds. in 15 plays for the only touchdown of the game. Quarterback Mark Lockenmeyer, last week's ECAC player of the week for his role in the Tiger's 14--10 victory over Colgate, hit flanker Lew Leone for two passes and 26 yds. and ran for 41 more in the march. The quarterback ran it in from the five with 6:16 remaining in the first quarter to give the Tigers their 7-0 lead...

In the ensuing confusion, the clock ran out and Cuccia's fake went for naught. Harvard went to the dressing room leading, 12-0, but sorely disappointed. "Time wasn't the factor there," Restic said afterward, "we just didn't get it done...
...your tubs scented with bath oils, in houses equipped with burglar and fire alarms. But what are ye safe from while imperiling your own souls? For he who said he would come as a thief in the night will do even so, and all your alarms will avail you naught in that hour when ye shall see him face to face . . . For in that dread day you shall get the message. Without CB . . . it shall be, that's it, buddy boy. For not all the air conditioning in the world can make you anything but a stench...
