COLUMBIA, 21-14: "Not one of our better games," said John Yoviesin. The Harvard passing attack was disappionting, and the defensive secondary was not too successful in stopping Lion quarterback Marty Domres. But Gatto and Hornblower each had the best day of his career, as they gained 144 and 93 yards respectively...
