PHILADELPHIA, Pa.--More and more, it seems, the word to describe the '78 Crimson football season is bizarre. And bizarre it was here at Franklin Field Saturday, as the Harvard football team held off a fierce second-half Penn charge right up to the final gun to win a 17-13 heartstopper...
Twice in the final quarter the injury-ravaged Harvard defense stopped Penn drives on fourth down, and then defensive tackle Tim Palmer shot through the Quaker line with 12 seconds left to sack QB Tom Roland at the Harvard 13-yd. line and save the game...
...contest marked the third straight Saturday in which the Crimson's fate had come down to the final 30 seconds, but, for once, the mad, capricious script left Harvard on top. The Crimson now stands 4-3-1, 2-3-1 Ivy, while Penn falls...
...Quaker Wishbone (nearly 400 yards on the day) tore up the Astroturf the way Secretariat tears up dirt, and before you could say Frank Rizzo, Penn had a two-touchdown lead after its first two possessions...
...quick result, just seven minutes into the game: Penn 13, Harvard 0, and one had to check the calendar to see if this was indeed the date for a football game, and not for the Penn Relays track meet...
