Drop-kicking played an important role in the 1912 Dartmouth game. Charley Brickley, probably the greatest kicker in the history of Harvard football, split the uprights in the third quarter from seven yards away, for the only three points scored in the entire contest. Nor was Brickley merely a field goal specialist; he rushed for 68 of the Crimson's 190 yards on the ground...
...week after absorbing a last-quarter, 26-20 defeat by Columbia, the varsity reared back to whip a strong Green eleven, 28 to 21, in 1956. The next fall, Harvard succumbed to the paralyzing Dartmouth offense led by halfbacks Jim Burke and Jake Crouthamel and lost, 26 to 0. Nevertheless, Crimson adherents could claim a larger victory in 1957--a glorious triumph in the Battle of the Big Drum. It was in that year that a group of Dartmouth students nearly succeeded in hauling away the Band's big brass drum, only to be halted by Band members wielding trumpets...

With ten minutes gone in the fourth quarter, however, varsity end Hank Keohane intercepted a Dartmouth pass on the Green 16, and three plays later Boulris bulled over from the five for the Crimson's winning score. The varsity's triple-threat halfback added the two points, and Harvard had only to hold off the Indians for 4:20 to clinch its most exciting win in many years. Coach John Yovicsin got a free ride to the locker room after the game...
...third quarter was marked by wide-open play and several near misses. Early in the period fullback Lanny Keyes, again playing a fine game on defense, booted away a shot aimed straight at the goal...
