...Brown has a threat, it has to be a sophomore quarterback Jack McMahon. McMahon is a tricky rollout passer who has completed 22 of 53 passes in the last two games. The Bruins throw roughly twice as much as Harvard, and Crimson defensive backs may have some trouble containing McMahon's chief receivers--end John Olson and halfbacks Dick Filak and Tom Lemire...
...Cards' statistics are so bearish, of course. Halfback Roland, 23, is the N.F.L.'s No. 1 punt returner at 14.2 yds. per runback. He is a talented passer as well as rusher; against the New York Giants last month he hit Flanker Bobby Joe Conrad with a perfect 40-yarder for a TD.

Harvard scored first of a 43-yard drive midway through the first quarter. Dave Smith looked great as a passer and a running quarterback on the drive, and he executed a great play...

Against Cornell last Saturday, Doherty completed 24 of 41 passes for 304 yards, breaking five Yale and two Ivy records. He will be throwing today to end Bob Kenney, who undoubtedly will be covered by Dartmouth's outstanding safetyman, Wynn Mabry...
