Coach John Yovicsin aptly summed up his feelings when he said "for a first ball game, our first two groups did as well as we expected." Charlie Ravenel sparked his team by producing the spectacular play at just the right moment--an opening 11-yard quarterback sneak, a pass to halfback Albie Cullen which set up the first touchdown, and an option play again to Cullen to set up the second score...
After employing a straight running attack for a while, Ravenel opened up the game with two passes--the first to Captain Hank Keohane (nullified by a penalty) and the second to Cullen who caught the ball on the run and didn't stop until the 3-yard line. Fullback Glenn Haughie cut through a hole at left guard and the onslaught had begun...
...Crimsons next score came early in the second frame following nine consecutive running plays, including the option lateral to Cullen. Twelve minutes later, the varsity tallied again, after a similar dramatic play at a key moment. With third down and 12 yards to go, Ravenel passed to sophomore end Bob Boyda for a 16-yard gain to the UMass 34-yd. line. Halfback Chet Boulris took a pitchout off right tackle for 20 yards; then right-halfback Larry Repsher raced 14 yards around left end to paydirt...
...Charlie Ravenel showed Saturday why he is the best quarterback in the Ivy League. The 160-pound speedster led the varsity to an expected 38-12 victory in an unofficial scrimmage with Williams College Saturday, first outside encounter for the Crimson.

Against the Williams tight defensive formation, nearly an eight-man line, Ravenel exercised the quarterback option often, opening up the defense for quick slash or dive plays. He ran effectively, scoring three of the Crimson's five touchdowns on 20, 25, and 30 yard rollout runs around end. And to cap off his virtuoso performance, Ravenel showed flashes of an improved passing technique that will make him an even greater threat this fall...
