...such a game can have a hero, it would have to be McCluskey. In the second half he gathered in a punt and danced 70 yards for a touchdown, leaving the last would-be tackler flat on his face after a beautiful head fake. He scampered 80 yards for another TD, and scored a fourth on a quarterback sneak...

...Bennington Peers III has shrewdly noted, it's the Big Three title that really counts.Yale halfback JUD CALKINS (25) misses a short pass from Brain Rapp as PAT YOUNG (87), HOBIE ARMSTRONG (40) and DAVE STRINGER converge on him. On the next play, Yale tried a fake punt, but their receiver was ineligible...
