...urging the U.S. to side with her embattled land. For five months Madame Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be everywhere: speaking at Madison Square Garden; traveling to San Francisco; talking on the radio.

Having handed off to Dawson on every single overtime play, the chances of running it in looked slim. In a plucky call, Murphy sent out five wide receivers and the offensive line bought Schires enough time for the QB to find Byrnes in double coverage and secure Harvard’s eighth straight win over the Tigers...
