Just 1:20 into the final stanza, Rogan hit Grieve with a 37-yard pass and the senior made a leaping overhead reception on the Harvard one. An illegal procedure penalty drove Yale back five yards, however, and Rogan's bullet to Grieve over the middle in the end zone was too hot to handle. But two plays later, Diana took a Rogan pitch, accelerated outside the Crimson pursuit and sprinted around right end for the touchdown. Jones capped the 49-yard, seven-play drive with the PAT and with 12:39 remaining in the game, Yale...

Following right behind to round out the most balanced offense in the Ivies--and perhaps in the East, excluding Pitt and Penn State, of course--are quarterback Rogan and split end Grieve, the most potent passing duo-in the league...
