...Haven's hopes that Princeton's loss of center Mike Iseman and second-string tailback Jack Sullivan would give the Bulldogs more of a fighting chance this Saturday were dashed last night. Yale coach Jordan Olivar announced that Mike Pyle, star center, and Dick Coleman, considered by many to be Yale's best quarterback, will not be able to play in the Princeton contest...

...Yale's Coach Jordan Olivar, who earlier criticized the rule ("I'm disgusted. It's an unimportant change"), found out just how important it was. Yale scored first, ran for two points for an 8-0 lead, forced Connecticut to go for two late in the game. Connecticut missed, and Yale had a hair-thin 8-6 victory. ¶ Ohio State's Frank Kremblas succeeded on two pass conversions, found that they made the difference in a 23-20 victory over Southern Methodist, which could complete only one pass in three after touchdowns...

The only Harvard boys who seemed able to outplay their opponents were in the fine Crimson band. And at the end, even they had to sit in sullen silence while Yale's musicmen blared away with Goodnight, Poor Harvard, and the big Bowl Scoreboard bragged about the biggest victory "The Game" has ever known: Yale 54, Harvard...

Yale coach Jordan Olivar lacked experienced halfbacks and tackles, and had only one veteran for the quarterback slot. That one--Dick Winterbauer--has proved sufficient, however. Saturday, he moved into the total-offense lead in the League on the strength of 206 yards gained on 31 plays. He threw 14 completed passes, two of which went for touchdowns...
