Parquette's score came on the most brilliant play of the afternoon, a 20-yard sprint off tackle, with the vest-pocket back again, proving that he can run as well as pass. His teammate, Blackwood, crossed the goal line by the hard route of plunging from the eight-yard line. On both plays vastly more efficient blocking by the guards paved the way for the ball carriers...
Blazing his way to the tape in a spectacular sprint, Robert S. Playfair '36, yesterday led the Crimson harriers to a victory over New Hampshire, with Harvard sending in the first five men for a perfect score of 15 to New Hampshire's 50. The time...

Chet Litman did what was needed for the rest of the distance and the initial score...

His jockey's instructions were to "breeze" him for three-quarters of a mile, where another horse from the Sloane stable would be broken in ahead for Cavalcade to pass.
