...toss, and chose to kick with the wind at its back. The choice paid off within three minutes, as the Crimson was forced to punt and Bruce McIntyre's weak kick, held up by the wind, traveled only six yards. On the Elis first play from scrimmage, quarterback Tom Singleton faked to fullback Bob Blanchard and handed to halfback Ken Wolfe, who went 41 yards for a touchdown behind blocks from Mike Pyle, Ben Balme, and John Hutcherson...

Occasionally Singleton calls his plays on a quick count, catching the defense off-guard (usually with Blanchard off guard). When held on downs, Singleton will punt. Last week he booted one time for 39 yards-the average distance for the 29 Yale punts this year. (The Crimson has punted 48 times for an average age of 35.5 yards). Two times week's game Will centered the to Singleton quite high, forcing quarterback to run. Once he saved by a Princeton off-side the other time he took off tackled 24 yards and a first latter...
